Sunshine at Sunken Gardens
So what can I tell you about the Saturday morning talk at Sunken Gardens? THE ROOM WAS PACKED. No kidding! Despite the wet weather, a huge bus of folks from Jacksonville came to St. Petersburg for an (unscheduled) tour of the gardens and lots of rain. I am guessing there were almost 40 wonderful folks to share the vision of a small town farming community right here in St. Pete and take that vision back to Jacksonville. ONE WOMAN raised her hand and told me she just retired and wanted to take it on. Ah the Universe works in mysterious ways… Wonderful surprise when I was expecting it to be rained out. BTW, we have rescheduled the talk for July 19th so St. Pete folks can come catch the vision!

MARKET VARIETY & VOLUME
As our Grower base continues to expand to offer variety and volume so must our Customer base grow! As soon demand grows for our Market produce, our Growers will be willing to reserve more quantity for us to sell. You may not know that our larger growers like Geraldson Community Farm and Faithful Farms also sell at local Markets and need to meet the demand there. Let’s demonstrate our commitment to buying local so they will have to expand their growing next season to meet demand! Tell your friends to SUPPORT LOCAL AGRICULTURE. We have found willing partners that include backyard urban farmers. Now LET’S BUY LOCAL PRODUCE!
EARTHWORM CASTINGS
Jane Maxwell’s fans are asked to be patient as demand for Jane’s amazing product is keeping her supplies flying out the door. She says it will be a few weeks before she will have more available for our Market. We’ll post it asap…
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.
