Market Closed June 14th

We will have market this Tuesday, May 31st and June 7th but will not have market on June 14th. Pam has graciously offered her carport to host produce boxes. If you box order from Nature’s Garden that week, pick up will be at her home. I will send her address when we get closer. Otherwise, please make sure to cancel your box or arrange for home delivery that week. I will send reminders!

Some of the vendors may do pre-orders and delivery at a specific time at the loading dock. I will send more details in next week’s newsletter.
There are 2 more Tuesday pick ups so feel free to double up if you need to.

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
