Connie's Cornucopia:  Reminder Friday Noon Cut off Box Orders


Just a reminder we need to have your Fruit, Vegetable, & Mixed Herbs Box orders, & your Dipped Strawberry (For Valentines Day) orders in by noon tomorrow. Both are great gifts for Neighbors, Friends and Family. Help us try to get more people eating healthy and support the local farms in Georgia. Which as you know our farms are NO chemicals, NO pesticides & NO GMO in their products. We also have other combinations to add more to the already great basket. This also is from farms that believe in the regenerative farming and have their animals out on pasture all the time.

The Fruit, Vegetables and Herb Box is a total of 9 different items this week. Which is this week: Strawberries, Romain Lettuce, Yam/Sweet potatoes, Sea Island Red Peas, Mixed Greens Mostly Kale, Carrots and Herb Mix (Thyme, Basil, Mint).

Don’t forget to order your items now before the deadline.

Remember you can always email or text me if you want to place an order and I forgot to open the Market or if I seem t have not adjusted quantities available since last week. Often flexible here though not always predictable.

If you Want to pick up the order at the Chillax Drum Circle in the Villages Sunday Afternoons, just let me know so I can bring it along. If you are with a homeschool group or other facebook group I attend events regularly, Let me know so I can plan accordingly. Otherwise when ordering, remember to let me know when you want to come pick up at the farm. If I don’t email you back to confirm, the order may not have gone through. To make an order you must be signed in, and you add products to your cart individually and then to check out you must go to your cart (Left side of screen near the top of the Market page) to do the check out and actually place the order.

The regular ordering window is now (as in whenever I open the Market) through Thursday 8am for Friday-Sunday pickup. However, if I send this Out Thursday, It has what is available after the Restaurants have ordered and you can place an order for pickup whenever we arrange it. (Or check with me tclynx@aquaponiclynx.com or text 407-342-8515 if you might want to pick up sooner or for special arrangements, I’m usually flexible.)

I may still be able to take orders after Thursday Morning but can’t guarantee availability of things as I may have already packed them for the Restaurants.
Ordering window is Monday Afternoon (or when I open it) through Thursday Morning and pick up will be Friday-Sunday by appointment until we expand more, Please indicate when you would like to pick up when you place your order.

I’m repeating myself now…..

Remember to tell me when you want to pick up! (and if I don’t reply to confirm within a day, bump my e-mail or text me 407-342-8515. Though I have cleaned up my e-mail so hopefully I won’t Miss Anyone.)

Sign in to order. https://yalaha.locallygrown.net/market

You have to sign in to see the add to cart button. Then set the number and click the add to cart button on the items you want to buy (it is the little picture right next to the quantity box.) Remember you need to check out before your order will be placed.
Remember to let me know when you want to pick up on Sat or maybe even Friday late afternoon or on Sunday. (If I don’t send you an e-mail confirmation of your order and pick up time, please make sure you checked out and completed your order.)
