OUR INTERVIEW WITH FOX13 NEWS airs tonight at 11 PM. We are excited! If you miss it, we’ll be sending out a link for viewing as soon as we get one.
YOUR INVOICE
If in doubt about what you owe, and since we no longer print final invoices, remember 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? on the third bullet item.
OUR NEW PACKAGING
By now you’ve noticed how our clear plastic bags make it easier for you to see what you’ve purchased. 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.

WE DO WHAT WE CAN
Due to the rain last week, you may have discovered a few paper towels we used to absorb some of the water in your greens. For the rare times we will do this, beware that you should replace them when you accept delivery to avoid spoilage from trapped moisture.

THERE IS STILL TIME…
for you all to make a pledge before May 2nd when Eric Stewart’s Kickstart fundraiser is slated to end. Since its inception four years ago, Eric Stewart’s Code Green Community website has expanded to form an online bio-regional community of like minded folk. Eric’s website has been instrumental in promoting our online Market’s Sunday Lecture Series. So we are happy to be included with a dozen or so organizations who are partnering with Eric to spread the news about raising funds to enhance the website with a new documentary to promote a more sustainable, resilient, and abundant Tampa Bay Area. Please read about Eric’s “Tampa Bay Green Living Economy Documentary/Web Series” project on Kickstart, email the link to your friends, and give serious consideration to contributing funds yourself. When this project gets funding, the organizations partnering with Eric will be included in a documentary focusing on the development of Tampa bay as a emerging green living economy. StPete.LocallyGrown.Net is honored to participate as a fundraising partner and to be included as a documentary subject.
