VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

THANK YOU Marie, Michelle, Julie-Ann, Karen, Linda and Marianna for volunteering on Tuesday!!! Moving to our new location went well but I discovered that I desperately need volunteers. Thank you to those that have already signed up!! I can’t believe the month of June is almost filled up!

The July calendar is posted and we need volunteers!

If you are interested in volunteering, I have created a volunteer sign up on Signup Genius. I am asking for volunteers to sign up for 1 hour shifts from 2p to 6:45pm. No packing is involved just need someone to be there to assist other members. You are welcome to bring your kids as long as they are supervised. Here is the link to the sign up http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A44AEA623A7FA7-volunteer

The link is also posted on the About page on our website.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Wilderness Family Naturals Group Order

This weekend we will be taking orders for organic pantry items from Wilderness Family Naturals. These items include healthy oils, nuts, spices, cacao, grains, rice, coconut products, natural sweeteners and skin care products. We will also take orders for bulk Organic Raw, Soaked & Dried Mixed Nuts.

Case Pricing for Organic Raw, Soaked & Dried Mixed Nuts
In order to get a reduced price on the mixed nuts we need to order 25lbs as a group. Includes the following Raw, Certified Organic, Soaked and Dried Nuts: Pecans, Almonds, Walnuts, and Cashews.

These certified organic nuts have been soaked as Sally Fallon and the Weston A. Price Foundation suggests, and then dehydrated at low temperatures.

Wilderness Family Naturals does their best to procure the highest quality raw materials available. They then soak and dry these nuts and seeds under controlled conditions with commercial equipment in a USDA inspected kitchen. Every batch undergoes testing to insure consistent quality. These organic nuts and seeds are fresh, flavorful and delicious. Extra measures are taken, such as refrigeration and vapor barrier packaging to insure customers receive a premier product.

All prices on the website include discounted bulk pricing, taxes, fees and shipping.

THIS ORDER WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO PICK UP THIS TUESDAY
This is a pre-paid pre-order. Payment is expected by this Tuesday. I will send out an prior to pick up when it is available. Due to shipping it can take up to 2 weeks before you can pick up.
