Food buying club open

Food buying clubs are open to anyone who wants to purchase good healthful foods free of toxic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, growth hormones, high fructose corn syrup, and perhaps most importantly, GMOs (genetically modified foods).  As more and more people become aware of the need to eat foods that are closer to what nature intended, they are looking for local sources for the best foods for themselves and their families.

The Cumberland Food Buying Club is an all volunteer organization in which everyone has a “job” and everyone enjoys the wonderful healthful food.  Food buying clubs are very welcoming to new members, and everyone enjoys the great cooperation and fellowship of a group of like-minded individuals interested in good food.

Food is distributed out of United Foods in Atlanta, and arrives on Mondays every four weeks.  The next delivery date is Monday, June 3.  Food is ordered via computer on the United Foods website.

Membership in the Cumberland Food Buying Club is very reasonable:  a $20 lifetime payment per family.  There is also a small (2-3%) surcharge added to orders to cover the cost of operating the club.  The Cumberland Food Buying Club meets twice a year to discuss any policy changes and updates.

If you’ve been considering adding more healthful foods to your menus, give the Cumberland Food Buying Club membership chairperson Judy Pearson a call at 788-5445.  There are currently openings available.   For more information, check out our website at www.cumberlandfoodclub.com.

The other food buying club in Crossville is centered on the very popular book “Eat Right for Your Blood Type.”   If you are interested in that program, give Larry Nesbit a call at 456-9245.
