Carolina Foothills, SC: Market is Open
Okay,
I was advised awhile back NOT to put too much of myself (personal) into these messages because I was Creeping Peoeple out so….
Not giving to much detail…..
I opened the market this week because I am pretty sure I will be here….
I am having some personal issues.
Basically, I can get a call at a moments notice that will result in me jumping State. By that I mean I will need to go to PA.
When I get the go ahead I Will be gone for a couple of months. (2-3)
I am NOT sure what to do…. Keeping the market closed is bad business but then letting people order then having to remove orders because I was called away is also bad business…..
If anyone has any suggestions I am willing to hear them…..
Anyway, I did open the market this week because I am almost certain I am going to be here.
Thanks for understanding,
Susan.

Joyful Noise Acres Farm: The on line market is open for ordering.
Greens, glorious greens! The fall crops are quietly coming in and I am so excited. Kale salad, collard greens and sausage, roasted cabbage and brussel sprouts…the list goes on. I can’t wait to see what GA Farm to Table has for us this week. They will be updating the market as soon as their growers report what is available this week.
Don’t forget to place your orders for Elderberry syrup this week. Dena will deliver in October but needs to know how much to bring.
We currently have unsalted butter but no salted. I have placed another order for salted but it may be a few weeks before it is ready.
Thank you for making the effort to support locally grown foods. Every dollar really does make a difference to your farmers.
Blessings,
Mary Beth
