Message from Market Manager

Our first potluck social of the year on Saturday night was very well attended. Thanks to our Growers, Volunteers and Customers who attended. The buffet fair was plentiful and delicious! SPECIAL THANKS to Clark & Peggy Tibbits who so graciously shared their experiences around the fire after dinner. Intentional Communities never looked so good and many people were inspired by the lifestyle with which the Tibbits have been blessed. These monthly socials are held exclusively for actively participating growers, volunteers and customers. Customers who have purchased from our Market within the last four months will receive an Evite to attend the next event. Become part of this circle so you don’t miss out. “St. Pete Locally Grown does alot more than sell tomatoes. We build community!”

REQUEST FOR TESTIMONIALS
If you’ve purchased a product on our Market that you really want to recommend to others, we would appreciate any feedback or recommendation that you wish to email us. We will plan to post some of them within the product descriptions to assist others in making their selection. With the cold & flu season well underway, along with aches and pains that can accompany them, we are particularly asking for feedback on the remedies you have been purchasing from either HerbalWise or Imperial Gardens. Both these ladies are working overtime to help us fight off and recover from the “bugs” that track us down and occasionally catch us. Thank you to both Deserie Valloreo of HerbalWise and Jennifer Gilman of Imperial Gardens for your investments in our health.
