Group Buy – Green Pasture Fermented Cod Liver Oil (FCLO)

This weekend we will take orders for FCLO and other Green Pasture products.

This is a prepaid pre-order. As with all Group Buys, this item will NOT be available this Tuesday for pick up since I will be placing our order on Monday morning and due to shipping. I expect it to be available for pick up on Oct 6th.

This is a monthly group buy so don’t forget to order this weekend if you need some FCLO!

Christmas Week

As you all know, I only close the market once or twice a year. I’ve decided this year we will not have a market the week of Christmas (Tuesday, December 22nd).

This is traditionally a very slow week and I would like to spend some additional quality time with my family.

I’ve let all the farmers and vendors know and I’m working with Nature’s Garden Express to work out the produce box delivery. I will have more information on that next week.

As for now, please plan accordingly and stock up in the next couple of weeks if you need to.

If you are a volunteer and have signed up for this week, I will remove this week from the calendar.

Thanks in advance for your understanding!
