REMINDER! Pick Up Time Change to 6:30 PM Starting THIS TUESDAY!
Just a reminder!!
As many of you know I have 2 very active children and my husband and I are both coaches for their teams. The season has started and in order for me to make sure both kids are at practice on time I need to close the warehouse 15 minutes earlier at 6:30pm instead of 6:45pm.
I’m hoping this won’t affect too many folks. I have to lock up and leave at exactly 6:30pm so please make sure you come by at least a few minutes beforehand to grab your items.
This change will take place starting THIS TUESDAY (August 4th pickup) I will send out plenty of reminders but wanted to give you all heads up!
Market News
My Daily Bread is BACK!
Starting this week My Daily Bread will be listing their items every other week. Feel free to double up on items that you would purchase weekly. Breads, tortillas, muffins, and other items freeze well. Please show them your support and welcome them back!
Group Buy – FCLO
Items have been ordered and I expect them to arrive in time for this week’s pick up. If there are any changes I will email those that ordered offline.
Vacation Hold – Produce Boxes (repeat)
Just a reminder if you are going to be away on vacation please make sure you put a “vacation hold” on your Nature’s Garden Express produce box if you are scheduled to receive one. You can simply do this online or give NGE a call and they can set it up for you. If you get an email from them on Friday with your box menu that means your box is NOT on hold and will be delivered Tuesday. As always you can delete your box order before their Monday morning deadline.
Grass Fed Ground Buffalo and Pastured Chicken Breasts are AVAILABLE (repeat)
Both items are back in stock! These are 2 of the market’s best sellers so get them while they got ’em! Thanks for your patience!
Mountain Fresh Creamery (repeat)
We will no longer have Mountain Fresh Creamery on the market. The supplemental feed they give their cows contains GMOs. I am currently looking for a new dairy to provide us low temp pasteurized milk. I will keep you all updated. In the meantime, please consider Cedar Rock Dairy and Lil Tots Estate.
