Dear Folks,
The DOT Farmer's Market will be closed next week, September 22 due to the Pope's visit to Washington DC
Oliver will not be able to deliver shares that day.
We have a couple options for you folks.
1. Choose another location for next week. All Saturday, Thursday and NGS spots are available. We had to cancel all Wednesday deliveries.
2. We can add extra items to your share for the rest of the fall session to make up for the missed week.
Let me know which you would prefer.
You folks who pick up at DOT are champions! Over the last three years there have been more closings for the market htan any other we know of, yet you folks keep coming back year after year. Thanks so much for your understanding. I am looking forward to hearing from each of you regarding your choices.
Louise
