March 7th, 2013 – The Market is Open!

Dear market customer,

This was another great week at The Market.

Two of our goats kidded on Monday and Tuesday, so we will be having goat’s milk very soon. Stay tuned! We will let you know as soon as we have milk for sale.

We also wanted to let you all know that Maryanne, our former market manager, is no longer with us. We wish her all the best!

I just learned that I can process additional items on your credit card, so if you decide to purchase additional items in the store, I can add those on to your account if you create a credit card account with Stripe.

Produce boxes are going great and we are looking forward to filling them on Friday. As the requests grow, we anticipate to start offering many of their great products like young coconuts, raw almonds, and some canned goods.

Remember that Johnston’s dairy products are available every week at The Market. Their raw milk, labeled for pet consumption, is top quality, and they also offer delicious cheeses, buttermilk, cream, and chocolate milk.

While Rancho Alegre Farm’s Raw Milk Program is currently full to capacity, Johnston is a great alternative. You can get as many gallons as you want with no commitment!

It’s Coming up Soon! March 16, 2013 – Weston A. Price Foundation

Some of the subjects that will be covered:

• Farmers Panel discussing sustainable food production, connecting with customers, and building relationships with your local farmers.

Get Your Tickets for the Weston A. Price Foundation Conference Here Now!

The Market Closes Monday at 9AM

Remember that this Online Market is ONLY open Thursdays at 9:00am until Mondays at 9:00am.

After Monday at 9:00am, online ordering will be DISABLED, so you will not be able to place any orders until the following Thursday at 9:00am.

Why? Because we only sell the freshest products, and our farmers/vendors harvest their crops and prepare their products based on your order. We are a local CSA-style Farmer’s Market, we are not a big-store conglomerate. Each order is custom prepared, so after you order on the weekend, our farmers/vendors get the order ready quickly for you to pick up the next day, Tuesday.

We hope to continue to bring you the freshest, sustainable, and nutrient-dense products for many years to come!
