This Week in VI Locally Grown,


I hope you all have enjoyed the new items we have been bringing to the market. This week we will have even more new goodies like watermelon, parsley, and carrots. Yum!

We are considering moving the market to Tuesdays at the same time and we are definitely opening a Saturday morning market, which initially will just be non-preorders as we coordinate with our growers. We are trying to make things more convenient for you all. What are your thoughts about these options?

Also, to help grow the market I’m adding a referral bonus. If you bring a friend to the market who has never been with us before, I’ll give you 10% off both of your produce (R2R produce) at checkout, Yay!

Thanks for your continued support!

This Week in VI Locally Grown


Hello VI Locally Grown members!

The seasons are changing; can you feel it? With these changes come new, delicious crops. Mangoes are coming really soon. If you come early, you might be able to get some from our first harvest of the year! We will also have tamarind, watermelon, papaya, zucchini, pattypan squash, crookneck squash, okra, and cucumbers.

We’re glad you all enjoyed our new location on the Lawaetz property. Since it was so well received, we’ll keep it there for now. For those of you who haven’t seen the change yet, please turn right at the gazebo and we will be in the picnic area under the huge Saman tree.

We understand that we are selling out of some items towards the end of the market. It’s a delicate balance of bringing just the right amount each week to reduce waste. Since the market is growing, we will gradually increase the amount of extra items. However, the best way to ensure you get exactly what you want is to use our online ordering system. We really appreciate it when you do!

Thank you for your support and we will see you on Wed!

Best,
Castiel
