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.

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.
