SPLG Hyeroglyphics
Ever notice the hyeroglyphics written on the front of some of our product descriptions? like “CT3.19@RO&2.99@EO/Mex”? That means “compare our price to local competitors (RO & EO) and their current pricing and also noting if their’s is sourced internationally.” Don’t forget that regardless of pricing, when you compare our prices to those of local retailers, our locally grown, chemical-free vegetables are harvested to order for delivery to YOU!

DEADLINE ON ORDERING NON GMO RAW COW MILK
Pam has posted the deadline as Tuesday 3PM due to the logistics of getting this fine product from her supplier for all things raw-cow. Look for it under the "M"s listed as “Milk – JTB Jersey Farms Raw Cow Milk TOTALLY NON GMO”.
WHAT’S NEW?"
Tons of new produce this week! You will just have to view all 260 items to find out! Shop on… We are open next week too and then closed the week of Thanksgiving.
NEW LINK TO GRASSFED BEEF EDUCATION
we are still learning too! http://www.chelseagreen.com/content/how-to-cook-the-perfect-tender-grassfed-steak/
A FEW EXCEPTIONS TO EVERY OTHER WEEK MARKET SCHEDULE
DO check the SPLG Market Calendar 2014 that is always posted so you can plan your shopping excursions on our online chemical-free veggie Market. As you know, we recently moved our Market hours to a biweekly (every other week) schedule. Here are the only exceptions to our plan through the end of this year. We won’t be open the week of Thanksgiving but WILL BE OPEN two consecutive weeks prior to Thanksgiving week so that you can be well stocked for the day of gratitude & fine dining with your families. In addition, we will be closed two weeks in a row—the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s. And finally, have you marked your calendars for our December 6th Holiday Party? It’s guaranteed to be an evening of enchantment! Tina, YOUR Market Manager
WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST CUSTOMERS!
Once you have submitted your order, if in doubt about what you owe, you can always confirm what you have been charged for by checking your account history and viewing your most current invoice. Instructions on how to do that are on our Q&A page under the question entitled Since you don’t provide an invoice with delivery, how do I know what I owe? Also, since your vegetables are picked fresh within 24 hours of delivery, they should be lasting for WEEKS in your refrigerator. When you accept delivery, please take a few minutes to inspect your order to protect your vegetables from unnecessary spoilage. Lastly, it is imperative that you understand our policy on Unclaimed Orders found on our Q&A page. When you make a purchase you are agreeing to abide by this policy.
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
Our Market has high standards for what it sells. Despite that—as seasons transition—the challenges of evolving weather and pesky insects can take its toll on the crops. Market Growers are being very selective about what they are willing to present to you. No, it won’t always be picture perfect (which is part of its charm) and sometimes an insect is going to evade capture! But we won’t send you anything that we wouldn’t eat ourselves. If for any reason we have goofed and you are dissatisfied, please report it to me right away so we can rectify the situation. That’s how we get better and we all benefit from that. Your satisfaction is key to our success as a resource for St. Petersburgs’ lovers of chemical-free, organically & locally grown vegetables.

South Cumberland Food Hub: Local Food!
Good Morning from the South Cumberland Food Hub. It’s a great day with plenty of sunshine. Enjoy it while it lasts since the cold weather will be moving in towards the end of the week.
Green Door Gourmet picked all of their peppers before the last frost since the plants were wiped out. Their supply will not last too much longer so make plans to order now and chop and freeze for later dishes.
Crow Mountain Orchard encountered a hail storm a couple of weeks ago which wiped out their Fuji crop and hurt their Pink Lady harvest too. They should have apples thru December this year despite these setbacks.
Check out the whole list of produce here:
