Christmas Week Update

This is the last market before Christmas break!

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.

Pam has graciously offered her carport as an alternate delivery drop off for Nature’s Garden Express produce boxes for that Tuesday only (December 22nd). She lives on Shadburn Ferry Rd in Buford not too far from the warehouse. If you have a box order it will be delivered there. I will sent exact address in my reminder next week.

All boxes this week (Tuesday, Dec 15th) will be at normal pick up at the warehouse.

Cedar Rock Dairy is also offering a milk drop for those that need milk Christmas week.

To order milk for pick up 12/22 just text Sam at 770-490-5190 (the number is also on your milk label). Text him by noon on Monday, 12/21. Benny will be at the warehouse from 1pm to 2pm with your milk.

Please plan accordingly and stock up this week 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!

My Daily Bread will be back the week after Christmas.
