Lettuce Bowls at the Market tomorrow


I’m sorry for this second email but I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anyone.

As some of you know, I work with the Coal Mountain Elementary School garden. Throughout the year we hold fundraisers to raise money for seeds, soil amendments, and misc garden supplies so we can continue to build and improve the garden for the kids. This year we are selling lettuce bowls, filled of Romaine and Buttercrunch lettuces. These are easy to care for and provide you with a fresh salad as you need it. Just clip mature leaves and the rest of the plant will continue to grow. Keep in a cool shady spot and water as needed to stay moist. I will have these at the market tomorrow so please consider getting one to help out our school garden. Thank you!

EGGS Unfortunately, we only have a small amount of eggs available this week. The most popular item at the market and yet so hard to keep the chickens laying a steady schedule. We are aware of your frustration trying to purchase these precious eggs. Since our supply is so limited, we would like to request that you only order 1 doz per family this week. I will be working on contacting more farmers to see if we can increase our supply but in the mean time…thank you so much for your patience.
