FACEBOOK – Opportunity to help!
Many of you have told me that you can’t volunteer due to your work/family schedule and I completely understand. You’ve also asked what else can I do help out the co-op? Here’s one way that will really help us out – if you are on Facebook or other social media please consider posting a pic of your co-op goodies! I have a very limited marketing budget and really depend on word of mouth advertising. Please feel free to spread the word about our wonderful market! Tag us @SuwaneeWholeLife

Update: Produce Boxes
Produce Box Pick up Update: Pam just found out Shadburn Ferry is still blocked off for construction. She is asking everyone to go up Little Mill:
Go NORTH on Peachtree Industrial and turn Left onto Little Mill. Go to the end and turn Right onto Buford Dam. At the next 4-way stop (a few blocks), turn LEFT onto Shadburn Ferry. After you pass Bass Circle, look for 5957 Shadburn Ferry. It’s a gravel drive. She will have a sign on the mailbox.
5957 Shadburn Ferry Rd., Buford 30518
