Because our growers harvested just for you, and (more importantly) since we paid the growers on your behalf when they brought their products to our market, you are still responsible for paying for the items.

Local means fresh: Fresh means better taste and higher nutrition.
Enhance your local economy: By purchasing produce and other items from local growers you are providing stability to your local economy through the support of local businesses.
Save natural resources: Buying locally makes you an invaluable link in the process of saving resources such as fossil fuels and packaging materials.

We believe that small, diverse, family-owned farms contribute to society’s overall health.

You may notice that some products are labeled “Organic”, and others are not. As a rule, no “conventional” growers are allowed to sell through our market. Everything sold on Connie’s Cornucopia is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. All produce is grown according to Organic standards, although, for various reasons, most growers do not pursue Organic certification.
To use the word “Organic,” a grower must register through the USDA and keep up with a tremendous amount of paperwork. The process is very expensive and intensive, and certainly favors large, conglomerate farms over the small family farm.
A few smaller growers in the state of Georgia have decided that the cost and paperwork of Organic Certification are worth the effort, and because they have completed the certification paperwork and have paid the fees to be inspected by the USDA, they can legally use the word “Organic.”
Many smaller farmers choose another route, a grassroots certification system called “Certified Naturally Grown.” This nation-wide program seeks to correct the problems with the USDA certification system. The standards are just as strict (and in some cases, more so) as the USDA Organic program, but the cost of certification is minimal— about $200 per year, compared with $2,000 through the National Organic Program. There is still paperwork, but smaller farmers find it manageable.
Finally, a few growers are not certified by anyone but still use organic sustainable methods on their farms.
To find out more about our growers, and to see what certification they have, take a look at our Growers page.

We encourage customers to inspect all products as soon as they are picked up or delivered. Please notify us as soon as possible if there is an issue.
Each grower is responsible for their own packaging, product listings, and labeling. If you receive an item that is not the quality you expect, please Call or text Connie Hoyt at 770-401-8738 with a picture and description of the product, and we will handle the issue accordingly. Please note we are not responsible for spoilage after delivery.
It is also very important to give feedback of any issues with products sold through this market.
