Group Buy: Wilderness Family Naturals
This weekend we will be taking orders for organic coconut oils and pantry items from Wilderness Family Naturals. These items include healthy oils, spices, cacao, grains, rice, coconut products, and natural sweeteners.
This WILL NOT be at pick up this Tuesday. I will place our group buy order after I receive payment on Tuesday. This is a pre-paid pre-order and payment is expected this Tuesday at pick or you can mail a check.
Please expect at least 2 weeks for this order to arrive.
This will be our last WFN group buy until Feb/Mar next year.
