OK, had another terrific week with one nice surprise: the first delivery of Summer Squash from Gary Taylor over here in Alabama was a lot more than he estimated! We ended up including it in about half of the $30 Farmer's Pick boxes instead of the Mixed Roots. Looks like the fabulous Florida Oranges are finally winding down, we had a great season this year and have enjoyed them very much. Thanks to all of our Members who took the time to tell us how great they have been! We'll have them for add-ons to Farmer's Picks or Custom Choice Orders for a little while. The first of the Peaches this week were a happy sight: the first pickings are always on the small side but they are just delicious: keep them on the counter at room temperature for a day or two before enjoying. If you want to make them last a little longer keep them in the crisper drawer of your fridge but remember to take them out to ripen for a day or two before enjoying.  

Website Updates: We are slowly tweaking our Online Market website both in response to Member suggestions and, well, just to get some more up-to-date info on there with new Growers and Pickup Locations. One little thing that sometimes trips Members up when placing their order is on the "Choose Your Pickup Location" page. Previously the first delivery site listed was the default and if you did not go down and click on the site you wanted, well, we sent your box to Norcross GA! This has happened a few times so we have created a fix (also be sure to double-check your order information when we send you the Confirmation email!). Now the first site on the list is "Choose your Pickup Location!" so if you don't go down to pick an actual site at least we will all have a heads-up. Because we are on a satellite for our internet service out here (sheesh) we can't get a lot of updates done very quickly so stay tuned for more as we go along. In the meantime if you have any website functionality suggestions please let us know!
