DOWNTOWN PICK-UP LOCATIONCHANGE FOR THE ON-LINE MARKETSTARTS TUESDAY FEB 4
Starting February 4th, our downtown pick-up location for the on-line market will move to the West End Market in Harrisburg, across from the Kroc Center. Parking is along Crawford Avenue and behind the store. Very excited for this beautiful new venue for local foods!

CHEF CHARLEEN OF CULINARY CONNECTIONS IS BACK!
Many of you know that our dear friend and fellow local foods advocate, Chef Charleen Tinley, spent most of 2013 undergoing treatment for breast cancer. It was a long, hard-fought battle, but with the new year comes good news of her recovery. In other words … she’s back!!! Chef Charleen will celebrate her return to the local culinary scene by offering “seasonal samples” of her recipes on Tuesday evenings in Feb at the West End Market pick-up. Visit www.chefcharleen.com for more info.

If you or your business would like to sponsor the purchase of one of these tables, please contact kim@augustalocallygrown.org.
