Orders This Week
2011 looks like a great year for Pecans! We moved our Poultry Yard at Moore Farms this year into the range of the root zone for one of our Native Pecans and the result of the good natural fertilizer from the Chickens, Ducks and Pigs have produced some of the best nuts we have seen in years. Newell Farms has lots of Native Pecans and Pecan Point Farm has a beautiful grove of several varieties. **We have noted allergy alerts on any accounts if you have notified us of Nut Allergies in your family: we will have Pecans in the Farmers Pick boxes at times this Fall so when you order if you have not already alerted us about an allergy please be sure to include a note in the Comments. Laurie's nephew has multiple severe food allergies so we are very aware of the issues and we pay attention to the Allergy notes on our Member's accounts!
Late Summer Harvests are winding down, we are hoping for another late frost this year but we'll have Tomatoes, Peppers, Squash, etc. as long as they are coming in. Load up in the next couple of weeks if you want to freeze some for Winter meals.

Helloooo, Birmingham Alabama Are You There?
We have been running our Friday route to Birmingham, Trussville, Pell City, Oxford and Alexandria for more than four months now and orders have been slow to sluggish at best. Are ya'll out there? Do you not want us to deliver to you? We have had almost no response to coupons, discounts and special offers. If you want us we need to know it. If not, we'll put our energies and resources toward the folks in Atlanta who are asking for new Pickup Locations. Call us, email us, place an order: let us know if you want us or not (we're listening!!).**Many thanks to quite a few folks who let us know how much you want us to keep delivering to these locations: we had a few more orders this week but we still need to see a big increase if we are going to be able to continue. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you spread the word in your area!
