Message from Market Manager

THIS IS THE LAST WEEK FOR GERALDSON COMMUNITY FARM UNTIL OCTOBER!
Farm Manager Claudie Barbineaux and her team in Bradenton have bent over backwards to make this season a tremendous season for us! Our heartfelt thanks to them for a job VERY well done bringing us freshly harvested, top quality, organically grown (and Certified) vegetables, all delivered with genuine smiles. We have so much to look forward to next Fall! Please go to their “Facebook page” and leave your kudos as a St. Pete Locally Grown customer. Expressing our thanks is important!

WHAT’S NEW WITH YOU?
Our Market will be open all summer to bring you locally grown veggies, including those important fresh greens that we all need year round! Please try our summer greens and let us help you integrate them into your diet. These locally grown, freshly harvested greens are going to deliver high quality, very powerful nutrients to your body that you can’t get anywhere else unless you grown them yourselves. We’ll help you do that too! (See workshop schedule below)

IN THE MOOD
Here is some inspiration we encourage all of our customers to read. “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle” by Barbara Kingsolver helps many people make the mental shift to GROW, BUY, AND EAT LOCAL unprocessed foods.

If you don’t yet follow us ON FACEBOOK then you are missing out on all the fun. Please go out there and “like us”! Keep up with customer testimonials, event announcements, etc.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BLOGGING?
Many of our customers are quite talented in the kitchen. Here is a great volunteer opportunity for YOU and a nice contribution to the those who follow our blog. If you have a special concoction or simple way to integrate Market produce into a diet, you can help others who don’t know how to make these dietary changes. Don’t know how to blog? Call the Market Manager at 727-515-9469 for help to get started.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO DELIVER PRODUCE TO OUR CUSTOMERS?
I am looking for weekly volunteers on Fridays between 10AM and 2PM for this very customer-oriented task. If you are an active customer, would like to save on delivery fees, have customer service experience, and enjoy meeting new people, this volunteer opp may be for you. Mileage reimbursement available. Please call Tina at 727-515-9469 for all the details.

DO YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT PACKAGING & DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCE?
If so, are you interested in volunteering WEEKLY for our Market on Thursdays for a few hours between 10AM and 4PM? Please call Tina at 727-515-9469 for details. As St. Petersburg spreads its wings into urban agriculture enterprises, this skill will be greatly needed!

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.
