Fresh Harvest, LLC:  Fresh Harvest for January 3, 2016

Market News

Hello!

Welcome, 2016! We wish you all a very healthy and happy year ahead! It is hard to believe that this will be our 10th year as Fresh Harvest!

We started off just two farmers selling you our produce via email, and have now expanded our web-based ordering service to include produce from other small local farms, humanely raised meats and eggs, and other artisan products from small businesses. We are fortunate to work with some of the best farmers, producers, and food-crafters that Middle Tennessee has to offer. All of our vendors are also our friends, and we trust their practice and respect their product. That is why we guarantee everything we sell on the Market. We only want you to be eating and supporting food that is good for you and that you feel good about! If you are not satisfied in any way, please let us know .

Although we have expanded, John And Tally still remain involved in every aspect of Fresh Harvest. We are heavily invested and committed to providing not only the best in local food, but an amazing service as well. We continue to learn and grow in this process, and always appreciate any feedback you as a customer have to offer. It helps us to do our job better, and that is always our goal. Please know you can email us at any time with any question, comment, or concern!

We know that you have many choices in purchasing local food these days! We are so grateful that you make the time and effort to shop with Fresh Harvest. With Fresh Harvest, your money is going directly to supporting small local farms and businesses. You are truly using your money and time to help create a more sustainable local economy and community. Thank you!

Please remember this year to eat more vegetables! Seriously, the best way to support small farmers and local agriculture is to enjoy eating the bounty they produce! Try to work more kale into that weekly dinner rotation, or how about a new vegetable you have never tried before? We have some great, vibrant and oh so delicious winter crops available for you, and we truly hope you enjoy them!

Thanks so much for all your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee

Coming Events

Berea Gardens:  Jaunuary 6 availability

Happy New Year!

Our offerings for this Wednesday’s pickup is a little slim, but we still have great quality on all of the items listed.

We will be shutting the market for two weeks (January 13th and 20th) and resuming again on the 27th after I return from a visit with my family.

Please submit your orders before 9 AM on Tuesday, and pay attention to the available quantities on the storefront when you place your orders. If, for example, we have 6 lbs. of beets listed there, it will not be feasible for you to order 8. The amount of product listed where you order is updated in real-time as orders come in.

Blessings,
Bob

The Wednesday Market:  Your Friendly Reminder to Order

Good afternoon. It’s that time again – ordering time!

The Wednesday Market is open. Please place your orders by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. Wednesday. Be sure to see the website for all of this week’s product listings. Here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

I don’t know about all of you, but I am SO HAPPY to see the sun shining today! Here’s hoping that it keeps shining for a few more days to dry out the bog that has become my backyard.

Thank you to all of our farmers and customers who were flexible last week when we changed locations at the last minute. Thanks also to the ladies at the bookstore who offered us their back entryway as a place to conduct business safe from the rain and mud. We are hopeful that the weather and our yard at The Wednesday Market return to “normal” this week.

Speaking of normal, Concord Street Sweets is back to the market this week. Thank you to our customers for allowing us space and time to work through a very busy holiday catering season. We are now back, and looking forward to filling your orders.

It takes a dedicated team of volunteers working behind the scenes to coordinate your orders each week. We call ourselves The Sunshine Girls – Anna, Beverly, Irma, Sharon, and Jennifer – and it is our pleasure to serve you each and every week.

We think 2016 is going to be a great year for the Wednesday Market, as we begin celebrating our 5th year of connecting local farmers with customers eager for locally grown produce.

Happy New Year from us all, and we’ll see you Wednesday!

Naples,FL:  Market closing at 5PM today

Suwanee Whole Life Co-op:  Reminder: Place your co-op before 6pm today!
