The Cumming Harvest - Closed: This Week at The Cumming Harvest
This Week
GARDEN ZEAL features us on their blog…
Every week I have new customers come by to check out the market asking to explain the process and wondering what we are about. I like to have customers inquire in person because it’s the only way to truly know if the market is the right fit for you and your family. We all know that everyone needs to, “Know your Farmer”, but you also need to “Know your Market” and that’s why visiting in person is important. But sometimes you may want to know more before you make a trip over and fortunately we were recently featured and interviewed by www.GardenZeal.com. If you’d like to see highlights of what we are doing to support our growers and how we create easy access to local food, check out the entire article here: Garden Zeal interviews The Cumming Harvest for details and information. Feel free to share the link so we can make sure more people know about us, which will in turn help support our local farmers.

Miami County Locally Grown: We are Open for Orders! Tonight's Featured Vendor is...
Innisfree on the Stillwater!!
To say Keba and Dennis Hitzeman do a little bit of everything is a gross understatement. Raw honey, gourment custom-roasted coffees, hormone/antibiotic free pastured Angus beef, free range, hormone/antibiotic free chicken and eggs, pottery, weaving, spinning, IT help… the list is seemingly and overwhelmingly endless!
Taking over the farm from Keba’s parents, after a career in teaching for Keba, and in IT computer technology as well as the military for Dennis, these two could not be more immersed in their sustainable dream. Drive up their long lane and you can’t help but appreciate the natural beauty which surrounds you. Content, well-cared for animals greet you any way you glance… the cattle, chickens, goats, dogs, sheep, wildlife… everything has a home and a purpose.
And they are such committed stewards of the land with which they’ve admittedly been blessed – they’ve not only intentionally allowed over 40 acres of their farm to return to woodland but encourage native plant and animal populations at every possible chance.
When you read their blog, meet them at a farmer’s market or art show, and visit their website or Facebook page, the passion they have for the life they’ve chosen is evident, as is their vision for the future. With the average age of farmers ever increasing, and Big Ag unable to healthfully feed the population, the Hitzeman’s are fully aware it is up to producers such as themselves to care for and provide the local, quality food that will sustain their community. What a responsibility they accept fully committed, and a choice they’ve made both willingly and gladly.
It’s refreshing to see these vendors each week at drop-off… I couldn’t be more fortunate to work with such NICE people, the kind you meet and are thrilled to support!
And go to their website if only to read the Irish poem that inspired their farm name!!
