Weekly Newsletter
Everything went pretty well for orders this week, we had more of the Sweet Peppers from Signal Mountain Farm so we added one or two into the Farmer's Pick boxes. The cold weather front coming in this week will likely knock out the last of the late Summer crops so we wanted to get the last of those good

Peppers out to everyone!
The change of seasons is such an exciting time of year for us: finishing one crop and preparing for the next is such a natural cycle for us and we feel such a synchronicity with Mother Nature. The mid-30's temps in the weather predictions are the final call for some of the late Summer vegetables that have been hanging in there and herald new harvests such as Jerusalem Artichokes, Pecans and Wild Persimmons. All of the Brassica family members just love the cooler weather so Kale, Chard, Turnips and other greens put on a lot of growth. Those of us who have Hoophouse or Greenhouse production have been preparing and planning for some time and the tender things like Spinach are coming along beautifully. Our wish is for us all to enjoy a long and gentle Fall Season this year.
Pre-order your Thanksgiving Turkeys now! Reservations for fresh Turkeys are made online and they must be picked up at Moore Farms only (NO DELIVERIES) see details on the Online Market and below. (You can place your Turkey Reservation Order even when the rest of the Online Market is closed: you will need to add the Custom Choice Fee but we will remove that when we process the Reservation order.)
Pickup Location Changes
Every quarter we analyze our delivery route to determine if we need to make any changes. Pickup Locations that have consistently had fewer than 10 orders for the previous few months are considered. Next week we will re-work our delivery route to maximize our time and delivery costs for our Atlanta sites. If your preferred site does not make the cut we apologize ahead of time! (We do state on our Questions and Answers page that Pickup Locations are subject to change.) It's a simple fact that we have to concentrate our resources in the areas where we have the most demand and Member support. Look for new Locations to be added as we confirm them, too!
At this time we are scrutinizing our Birmingham route week to week: we still have not seen a big increase so if you want us to keep delivering please order and help us spread the word!
