    NEW GROWERS
    Lots of excitement this week as welcome THREE new Growers to our Market.

    We welcome Lisa Duncan-Thayer this week and she shares Mother Nature’s Pantry with our Market. She will be supplying herbs and veggies in the coming months. Thanks to daughter Sarah for connecting us!

    Offshore Seafood Co. is a Seafood Market owned by local fisherman specializing in a premium line of the freshest seafood on the Gulf Coast! Nothing preserved or chemical treated. Their fish are harvested domestically on hook & line by local fishermen and brought ashore within 3-4 days of being caught. Welcome to Kent, Kris & Suzanne Sahr!

    The Dooryard Supermarket comes on board this week with beautiful roselles from which to make tea. Welcome to Derek Phillips and Aaron Nicely!

    Be sure to check the Market closely every week going forward as the veggie variety begins to shift in the direction of FALL. I just heard you all say “Yayyy!” ALSO, look for a huge overage sale on llama beans this week.

    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? on the third bullet item. 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.
