Special At This Week’s Market
JS Sharpening, our popular knife sharpening vendor, will set up a tent outside the SCVB from 4:30 to 6:30 this Thursday. Bring him your kitchen knives, pocket knives, scissors or garden tools, and he’ll get them back to prime condition. Drop off your items at Jamey’s tent, then wait in your car til he’s done or pick them up at the Market2Go drive-through next Thursday. Remember to wear your mask and practice social distancing!
Market2Go pickup in Statesboro is now at the Statesboro Convention and Visitors Bureau (SCVB) at 222 South Main Street. All pickups are on Thursday.
STATESBORO – THURSDAY Drive Through at SCVB starts at 3:30.

SYLVANIA – THURSDAY Pickup at Victory Gardens General Store

Want to change your pickup time? The purpose of the time slots is to try to achieve an even flow so nobody has to wait too long. But we want this to be convenient for you: if you need to change your time slot or location, please text 912.481.2263, tell us the ORDER NAME and the TIME you would like to pick up. We will even assign you some “bonus time” if you need to come after 6:30. Just let us know so we can make sure your order is in the right place at the right time. Please do NOT come before 3:30 as this creates a traffic backup.
Remember! When you head out to your pickup location, be sure to take a mask, a placard with your order name(s), and appropriate containers for your food.
THE DRIVE-THROUGH PROCEDURE in Statesboro.
- Drive to the right (counter clockwise) all the way around the SCVB, keeping to the outer perimeter and maintaining a tight queue. A volunteer will check you in as you come around the far side of the building.
- Please display the name(s) for your order(s) on a windshield placard to assist in quick and safe check-in.
- Please wear a mask while communicating with market staff.
- Provide access to your vehicle and to the containers you want loaded (bags, boxes, bins or coolers); unlock the back door or the trunk, with containers inside.
- We recommend that you bring a cooler for transporting meat, dairy and perishable items. Ice cream melts, even in a short car trip, and our fresh non-homogenized milk is temperature sensitive.
- Wait in your car for the runner to come out with your order and load into your containers. Make sure your name placard is visible.
- If you did not prepay on line with a debit or credit card, please make a check for exact amount when your order is delivered. (You may pay cash in exact amount, but any “change” from cash received will be credited to your account. Use an envelope to label the cash payment with your order name.)
PICKUP for SYLVANIA CUSTOMERS.
Pickup is across the street from the Victory Gardens General Store. Please remain in your car until volunteers bring your order, and wear a mask when interacting with volunteers. We recommend that you bring a cooler for transporting meat, dairy and perishable items.
HOME DELIVERY CUSTOMERS.
Orders will be delivered between 2:00 and 5:00 by Boro Takeout. You will receive a notice when your driver is on the way. We recommend you leave a cooler at the front door (or your designated delivery location) to facilitate no-contact delivery and to keep perishable food safe.
EBT CUSTOMERS.
Right now we can scan EBT/SNAP cards only at the Statesboro pickup location. So, if you have ordered online with the intent to pay with your EBT card, you’ll need to come to the Statesboro Drive Through at the Convention and Visitors Bureau between 3:30 and 6:30. Email or text us in advance so we can calculate your bonus dollars and the amount to be charged to your card.

The Cumming Harvest - Closed: Weblog Entry
Good morning everyone,
Now is the perfect time to stock up on all veggies and produce. It’s hot outside and so the veggies are growing. Now it’s also a great time to tell your family and friends about the Cumming Harvest and spread the news. Just a few announcements this week.
We are excited to announce a new employee at the Cumming Harvest, McKenzie. We will continue to train her this week, so please be patient with us, as she is learning. But we are so excited to have a new assistant manager.
Don’t forget to pick up your items the week you order them, to avoid a five dollar holding fee.
And remember the market hours are from 10 AM until 12 noon sharp.
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Market News
Welcome to September! The autumn vegetables are just getting started, so look out for new products over the next few weeks. We are excited to have eggs back on the market, as well as a wonderful whipped honey that Talking Rock HoneyBee Farm crafted just for Big Canoe Harvest.
Whipped honey (sometimes referred to as creamed or spun honey) is our 100% pure honey. We have whipped it and cured it until it becomes a creamy thick consistency similar to a fudge sauce. The taste is slightly different than your regular honey simply due to the process that occurs during whipping. We find it lighter and more delicate. Use whipped honey just as you would regular honey but also it makes a beautiful addition to your charcuterie boards, topping vanilla ice cream and of course any application where spreading is desired (we recommend peanut butter and whipped honey sandwiches) and also it makes creating your homemade honey butter a breeze. It can be kept unrefrigerated for a looser spread or in the refrigerator for a firmer consistency. The choice is yours!
Please remember as you order that per the POA’s instructions, we cannot leave your food unattended. If you need us to deliver to your neighbor or slip your order inside your house, please be sure to tell us in the comments so we can make sure your order gets to you safely!
If you have other suggestion about how we can continue to make deliveries without being able to leave products unattended, we’d love to hear them. We’re still developing the best ways to get your orders to you, and we welcome any of your ideas.
As always, if you enjoy being a member of Big Canoe Harvest, tell your friends! The more the market grows, the more additional vendors and products we’ll be able to include. As always, your feedback help shapes the market. Let us know what you think about the Big Canoe Harvest products.
Have a wonderful week, and we’ll see you Saturday!

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
Champaign, OH: Last Call!
So, I’m just sending out a little reminder that the market will be closing in a little less than a half hour!!
It’s pretty much exploding, and I would hate for you to miss out, this week!
Just like in my early days of working in pubs to earn cash for moving to California, I am turning up the lights, blaring, New York, New York on the juke box, and making my rounds, gathering glasses, and asking if anyone needs anything else before they have to leave…
Here is your New York, New York moment…
Last call…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
