Cobb County Homes Offer Organic Dining Nearby

When you think of Cobb County, you may not think of beautiful farms with rolling pastures, but that doesn't mean that healthy, organic food isn't available for you and your family. Whether cooking at home or enjoying a meal out, CobbCounty homes offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy organic food.

What exactly is "organic"? Organic refers to the way that farmers grow and process agricultural products such as meats, dairy products, grains, fruits and vegetables. During the growing process, farmers do not use conventional methods to control weeds, prevent disease or fertilize, instead they seek out other processes that are much more natural and a lot less harmful. Organic practices are also beneficial for reducing pollution and encourage soil and water conservation.

Bring the farm to your dining room table with organic grocery shopping. Organic sections in your local farmers market or grocery store are a great option, but don't forget about having fresh food delivered straight to your door. Nature's Garden delivered allows homeowners to receive a box of vegetables, fruits or other products without leaving the comfort of their home. You can choose how often you want your fresh, organic products to be delivered, and what you want to receive. This convenient service is available to homeowners residing in any of Traton's metro Atlanta communities, including residents of their CherokeeCounty new homes.

Want to enjoy organic food outside your home? Chicken and The Egg off of Whitlock Avenue features a full menu of Southern comfort food based heavily on the farm-to-table concept. If you're looking for fresh dining, you won't go wrong with this farmhouse-inspired restaurant.

The South is known for farming and agriculture, so why not take benefit from some of the best food in the country? With Traton Homes' gourmet kitchens, you will be perfectly equipped to create organic culinary delights that your whole family will enjoy.

Both model homes are featured in East Cherokee’s Southern Heritage collection of ranch condominiums. Even better, if you fall in love with one of these models, the home design can be replicated on another homesite!

The second model home features the lovely Beaumont plan with two bedrooms and two baths. This plan offers a wonderful flex space that can be used as whatever you want! Create a breakfast room, game room or reading room. This floor plan also features their optional 600 square foot activities suite with full bath over the garage!

Mitch Block, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Orchards Group stated, "We want to properly demonstrate the improvements we have made to some of our floor plans." He added, "With the increased level of sales (we are now just under 50 percent sold), we felt a permanent presence in a more visible section of the community was warranted as well."

While you’re in the neighborhood visiting the gorgeous model homes, stop by the community clubhouse to check out all of the wonderful amenities The Orchards of East Cherokee has to offer. The grand clubhouse includes a fitness center, game and card rooms, gourmet kitchen, fireplace and a 5.1 surround sound TV entertainment center.

New Yorker Chooses Smyrna as First Home Location

Recently, one of the many happy Brock Built homeowners, Jacqueline Witherspoon, was interviewed by the Atlanta Journal Constitution for their weekly Homefinder section. In the article, Jacqueline details the process of finding her perfect new place at Brock Built's popular community of Smyrna, Georgia homes, Belmont Chase.

Even though Jacqueline was a first-time buyer at the age of 50, she had always dreaming of owning her own home. However, since she lived in New York where the cost of living is higher for the majority of her life, she had never been able to turn her dreams into a reality. After a change in her family situation and with a little encouragement from her niece, she decided to take her search south.

Her house hunt consisted of a long weekend filled with plenty of showings, but none of the places caught her eye. Finally, at the very last home she saw, she made an instant connection. This home, which is located in Brock Built's Belmont Chase community, had everything she wanted including a master on the main, extra bedrooms upstairs and plenty of square footage.

Since moving into her Atlanta new home in August, she has added her own flair to the home with pieces of art from Africa, lithographs and even the vase from the community's model. In addition, she choose to include the builder's hardwood and granite countertop upgrades.

Belmont Chase is a delightful community in an excellent Cobb County location. With craftsman style homes priced from the low $200,000s, a wide array of floor plans and plenty of design options, buyers can truly create the home they've always imagined.
