See you Thursday at Bee Healthy!    The Farmer’s Wife

Thursday at Bee Healthy was a great day…almost perfect!  We covered our check and got the extra needed to apply to the truck payment due for 2019.  Thanks to those Walk-in’s that stopped by to shop, and the Members that bought Extra’s.  The income from the Special Boxes helps to make Thursday Market at The Bee happen, but do not cover the cost of the produce from our distributors.  It is truly a community effort!

Please help us share the word:  Market Day at Bee Healthy every Thursday from now until the end of May. 

• No membership required, though being a part of the Buyer’s Group guaranties a personal box of fruits and veggies for the week (or two weeks).
• 9 openings still available in Group B with their next Box January 31st– $30.  Text 431-1219 to reserve a spot.
• No money down, pay when you pick up your Box (and pick up your Extra’s for the week, too).
• Review the Memo of Understanding, and check out the Buyer’s Group tab at http://www.lloydcraftfarms.com .  While there, sign up ‘to follow’ so you’ll get the posts directly into your email!

Thanks AGAIN!  We appreciate your support and commitment to eating whole foods and taking your health seriously!  LOL 

Healthy foods for healthy bodies, Healthy bodies for healthy communities!

Still interested in signing up?  2 openings in Group A, and 10 openings in Group B.  Once we are full, the Buyer’s Group with guaranteed Special Boxes is closed, but we will always try to have a variety of Extra’s for sale for Walk-in’s.

Don’t hesitate and miss out!!  The Farmer’s Wife

SIGHHHHH!  The Farmer and I finally got away for an evening on the town…Billings!  For us it was shopping at Costco (our $322 dinner–LOL), Walmart,  and a stay at the Com’On Inn, Jacuzzi suite…with a Senior discount– Good to get away for Date Night!   But now…back to the living!  We spent this afternoon getting 35 Boxes ready, and lining out all the Extra’s for sale tomorrow.  DONE!   So here is the report:

25 Boxes for Group B with everything promised and no great surprises (the Son met the truck in our absence and brought the produce back to the cooler and put it in the RIGHT places–We are blessed by our children!).  Because I ordered from Spokane Produce anticipating 40 BOXES, I have WAY MORE PRODUCE than anticipated–so I am discounting items to move them from our coolers to your refrigerators:

5 oz – Organic Girl Baby Spinach (15)…..$3.75 each  (normal retail $4.25)

5 oz – Organic Girl 50/50 Salad Mix (10)..$3.75 each (normal retail $4.25) 

Hass Large Avocados (31)…………………………………$2.00 each (normal retail $2.50)

Organic Broccoli (14)………………………………………..$4.00 each (normal retail $4.50)

Organic Cauliflower (30)…………………………………..$4.25 each (normal retail $4.75)

Organic Cherry Tomatoes on the Vine (22)…………$5.00 each (normal retail $5.75)

We will be stocking kale, herbs, ginger root and turmeric, cilantro and parsley, cucumbers, orange bell peppers, jalapeno peppers-—all organic and very reasonably priced!

Also, Green Cabbage and our own Ruby Perfection Red Cabbage, Rainbow Carrots (2# bag), our own Daikon Radishes, Sunchokes, Red Sangre and Yukon Potatoes from the Anderson’s in Torrington, Sweet Potatoes (Garnet Yams), and Garlic and our own Onions—all certified organic or organically raised, and the potatoes are Natural with minimal pesticides.

And don’t forget the FRUIT!--ORG Fuji and Honeycrisp Apples, Heirloom Oranges, Dole Golden Pineapple, ORG Bananas, and Meyer Lemons and ORG Lemons…I guess I forgot to order the Limes….But, HEY!  next week!

The 10 EXTRA Boxes are called INTRO Boxes with either spinach or 50/50 mix.  You can purchase them Thursday WITHOUT a commitment to join the Buyer’s Group.  $25 for a $30 value:  Avocado, Heirloom Oranges, Rainbow Carrots, Cauliflower, Cucumber, Orange Bell Pepper, Onion, Red Kuri Winter Squash, 3# Red Potatoes, NO Cherry Tomatoes on the Vine (but you can add them for $5.00)—I’m just thinking your going to say, “Wow!  This is great!  I’d like this twice a month, guaranteed!”….and then you’ll sign up for the Buyer’s Group!

Group B boxes are the same WITH the ORG Cherry Tomatoes on the Vine–$30.

See you TOMORROW, 10:00 opening at Bee Healthy, closing 5:30, WITH LOTS OF GOOD HEALTHY PRODUCE TO STOCK YOUR KITCHENS FOR THE WEEK–The Farmer’s Wife

The produce for the Special Boxes has been ordered!  Truck comes in today— Boxes will be assembled Wednesday afternoon.   I still have 16 openings for Group B.  If I don’t fill them I will have a lot of produce to sell Thursday!

So, “Why should I get a box if I can come in and shop?”, you ask.  Well…

Economy!  Buying a box of veggies through the Buyer’s Group cost 15%- 20% less than buying as a Walk-in.

Guarantee! You are guaranteed a good cross section of fruits and veggies no matter whether early in the morning or afternoon. (Great for BUSY people who have more to do than shop for their food.)

Value! Where else in town can you get fresh veggies (and fruits) that are organic and priced competitively?

Beyond economy, guarantee, and value there is Committment— Without the faithful core of committed members we can’t run a stable program and be around for the next year!

COME! Be a part of the Food Revolution!  Eat healthy for healthy bodies, Healthy bodies build healthy communities!  The Farmer’s Wife

This week’s Box:  Heirloom Oranges, Avocado, ORG Cucumber, our own Onion, ORG Rainbow carrots, ORG Cauliflower, locally grown Red Potatoes, ORG Cherry Vine Tomatoes, our own Winter Squash, and Organic Girl Salad Mix.  We include info sheets–veggie storage or prep tips, maybe recipes!  Cost is $30
