Suwanee Whole Life Co-op:  Strawberries available from BeeBerry Farms

Certified Naturally Grown Strawberries are now on the market!! Order early before they are gone!

The heart-shaped silhouette of the strawberry is the first clue that this fruit is good for you. These potent little packages protect your heart, increase HDL (good) cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, and guard against cancer….. Packed with vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols, strawberries are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie food. They are among the top 20 fruits in antioxidant capacity and are a good source of manganese and potassium. Just one serving — about eight strawberries — provides more vitamin C than an orange…

Store your dry berries in a container in the refrigerator and rinse before use….. Our strawberries are picked and immediately placed in a cooler to maintain their freshness. They are usually picked within 2 days of delivering them to you. …. Unless you come to our farm and pick them yourself you will not find fresher berries.

CLG:  CLG Pickup TODAY 4-6pm

Good morning,
This is a pickup reminder for those of you who ordered this week. Thank you for your order! You can pick up your order from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. today at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church at 925 Mitchell Street in Conway.

If something comes up that you cannot personally pick up your order today, please contact someone to pick up for you.

Remember to bring your glass jars for recycling, egg cartons, and bags for ordered items. Reduce, reuse, recycle! See you this afternoon.

Come early for the best selection from the EXTRAS table!

Thank you,
Steve

Palouse Grown Market:  First week PGM will be open for orders...

Happy Thursday,

I wanted to give everyone a heads-up that May 27-31 will be PGM’s first week for taking orders! The Market will be open Wednesday morning until late Sunday night. The market closes for Monday and Tuesdays as “harvest days”. This will be the consistent schedule for PGM.

The first pick-up day will be Tuesday, June 2nd. Vendors can drop off their wares at the 1912 Center between 2-3:30, and Members can pick-up from 4-6:30!

Soon I will be sending out Vendor packets and contacting the current vendors via phone to see if there are any questions or concerns I can address.

Many thanks,

Holly
Market Manager

Tonight was a great market night! Like so many market nights, tonight just came together with vendors, customers, the YMCA, my assistants…

One big team, lots of laughs, lots of fun, lots of local goodness!!

I would like to thank so many of the vendors, and customers, who take the time to send special little messages with their orders, or emails as a vendor. Your kind words to us, and your appreciation, are why we do what we do, each and every week! You are important to us, this market is important to us, and the local goodness/scene/vibe are important to us!!

Get on board with the love…the love of local, the love of keeping it real, and the love of this little local market! We thank each of you…

I am opening the market for another week of fun!! We look forward to showing you another week of love, local, and fun…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
