Independence,VA: Last chance to order before Christmas
Friends of the Market,
Welcome our new On-line Market coordinator Penny Bergeron. I’ll still be here for the next couple weeks but she’ll be taking over soon. Just a reminder,
The online Market will be CLOSED Friday December 25th and Friday January 1st, so plan to stock up for the Holidays. Last pickup will be Friday December 18th and the 1st pickup of 2015 will be January 8th. Happy Holidays!
Isn’t it great to have all the produce on the Market! Just a reminder, the Market closes to orders at 8 pm Wednesday evening. If you have questions, feel free to email me at IFMmarketplace@gmail.com or call 276-235-8230. Please bring cash or checks. You’ll still be dealing with each individual vendor.
Happy shopping! Here are the links:http://independencefarmersmarket.locallygrown.net/market/

Thanks and hope to see you Friday!

Champaign, OH: The Market Is Now Open
Just a short and sweet market opening, tonight.
Your market manager is exhausted beyond exhaustion. It’s been a crazy 6 weeks of all things holiday, all things fast paced in the life of a downtown board member, a chair of Holiday Promotions, Santa Land, and the Holiday Gala. On top of that, all of you who have seen me, this past week, have seen my injury. On top of all this, there is my crazy baking schedule…
So, with this, I thank you all for this past week’s market, and making it a huge market!! I look forward to seeing you at this week’s market, AND…please remember…this coming week will be our last until after the holidays!!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Christmas Week Update
This is the last market before Christmas break!
As you all know, I only close the market once or twice a year. I’ve decided this year we will not have a market the week of Christmas (Tuesday, December 22nd).
This is traditionally a very slow week and I would like to spend some additional quality time with my family.
Pam has graciously offered her carport as an alternate delivery drop off for Nature’s Garden Express produce boxes for that Tuesday only (December 22nd). She lives on Shadburn Ferry Rd in Buford not too far from the warehouse. If you have a box order it will be delivered there. I will sent exact address in my reminder next week.
All boxes this week (Tuesday, Dec 15th) will be at normal pick up at the warehouse.
Cedar Rock Dairy is also offering a milk drop for those that need milk Christmas week.
To order milk for pick up 12/22 just text Sam at 770-490-5190 (the number is also on your milk label). Text him by noon on Monday, 12/21. Benny will be at the warehouse from 1pm to 2pm with your milk.
Please plan accordingly and stock up this week if you need to.
If you are a volunteer and have signed up for this week, I will remove this week from the calendar.
Thanks in advance for your understanding!
