April Order

plant a garden for peace[REMINDER: Now's the time to start a-plantin'! Start indoors - broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, peppers, eggplants.]

Your April order should be finalized by Wednesday, April 15 for delivery on Monday, April 20. Despite the time mix up in March, Greg (the driver) assured me that our delivery time will be 8:45 a.m. UNTIL they rebid (among drivers) the routes in May.

On special in April:
* Organic Thompson seedless raisins (30#) - 342600
* Organic rolled oats, thick (50#) - 484899
* Organic French lentils (25#) - 659680
* Cafe A Organic coffees in 6-1.25# pks (works out to $5.21/# and I think these are also fair trade) - 301838, 301796 and 3018520
and much much more.

Here's the .pdf of the April catalog.

Thought you might find this website, La Vida Locavore, interesting. The new "dirty dozen" list came out recently.
