Pak Choi and Arugular available
Hello all,
One of our group has been unable to pick up her order due to a family emergency. So, we have available five Pak Choi heads (I guess that is what they are called!) from Lazy Willow Farms for $3.30 each and one 6 oz. package of of Arugula from Harvest Moon Garden for $6.
They have been in a cool part of the house since Tuesday evening and they all still look fine. Someone will be here (our home, the standard pick up place) this evening and tomorrow if you can come pick it up.
Our kindest thoughts go to Tonya’s family.
Take care,
Jan

the listing may be incomplete
Hello again,
Since the e-mail to open the market went out early, there is a good chance that the listing attached to the e-mail is incomplete. Please go to the website after 10 AM on Friday for a complete listing of what is available.
Thank you for participating in our market!
Bob and Jan Perry
Market is open - order after 10AM please
Good morning all!
We warmly welcome new growers – Kim and Chris Hines. Welcome to the locally grown family! Kim and Chris are offering Shitake mushrooms and pomegranates! Tink has lots of wonderful beef to go with the mushrooms. Harvest Moon and Lazy Willow continue to provide us with winter squashes, okra (and now even decorative okra!), and other early fall wonders!
Come and browse and fill your basket with the bounties of our small farmers.
The Market-open announcment is going out early and the growers are adding to the market place as I write this. Bob and I are going to be at the Living History Park in North Augusta much of the weekend for the BIG Colonial TImes event. I hope many of you will be able to come out and see us and take a break from the 21st century! There are re-enactors galore, an 18th century circus, Benjamin Franklin will be visiting us, and lots more. So, after you fill your grocery cart, come on over and join us for a few hours!

Pick-up Sharing
Hello all,
Here are the people who have indicated interest in sharing the task of picking up produce on Tuesday afternoons. Please contact each other and work out the details amongst the participants! Keep in mind that the payment amounts that you have on your e-mail from the market is subject to change if any of the growers were not able to deliver what they anticipated. So, one way to handle that would be for us to maintain a balance in your account whether it is an overpayment or an underpayment to the market. If there is a problem with this with an order (and we have not experienced this yet), I will e-mail you with the options.

Membership Fee
Good morning! Bob and I have consulted about whether or not we need to initiate a membership fee and have decided that we do. We need to purchase some additional items to allow for a smoother pick-up expereince. So, we are starting an annual fee of $25 per family. Everyone will have two trial orders to see how the system works and to see if it is a good fit for them. When you order a third time, the membership fee will automatically be added to your account balance.
Last week several people (like me!)added to their order after they submitted it. The computer system considers that two orders, but we don’t! So, if you placed more than one order last week, the program will add the membership fee to your total. However, we only consider what you ordered last week as one order and we will remove the membership fee when you get here to pick up your order the next time.
Thank you for helping us grow! We look forward bringing more healthy food to the area!
Jan
