Market News

JUMPOFF MOUNTAIN JAVA is back this week.
-————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The Coffee Break Open House will be on Tuesday, December 2, between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. (before market). This Coffee Break will target holiday gift-giving to get our customers (and new customers from the Sewanee community) to come see the market and order your wonderful products online. And that day, they will be able to buy items, as well.

COMMUNICATIONS ISSUES
We continue to hear that our customers are having difficulty communicating with the CFM. Please remember you should NOT reply to an order confirmation, the blog e-mail, or a market e-mail that comes through mailgun.org.

Instead, you should begin a completely new e-mail. By doing this, your message will not become “lost” in the message history and be overlooked. You may also call Kir at 931-592-3399 (no voice mail).
-————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
PLACING AN ORDER
Before you order, be sure you see the little basket. If you do not, log out and log in again. If this fails, turn off your computer completely and start again. This includes ordering from smart phones.

If you want to leave a comment for a grower, be sure to put it in the “Leave comment for grower” area in RED beneath the item you’re ordering. Placing comments in the market manager section will not be seen by the growers.
-————————————————————————————————————————————————————
BIOINTENSIVE GARDENING
We have had several requests for information on biointensive gardening/farming. If you are interested in a very informal discussion group on this subject, please let us know so we can add you to the list, either on the teacher or student side. Everyone is welcome, including those not currently customers or growers on the market.

NEW DELIVERY DRIVER
Have you contacted Rachel Lynch, the new Sewanee delivery driver? E-mail: radelo50@yahoo.com or phone 931-598-0774.

Don’t forget the driver cannot accept payments of any kind on behalf of the CFM. Payment of all CFM orders MUST be made in advance of Tuesday’s delivery. Checks must be mailed in time to be posted to customer accounts before closing of market ordering on Monday. To ensure your account always has a positive balance, the CFM prefers payments in increments of at least $100.00. Mail checks made out to CFM to Kir Strobel, 744 Timberwood Trace, Monteagle, TN 37356.

Should at-home delivery not work for you, your second option is to leave your order at the Center to be picked up by you or a designée by 6 p.m. Wednesday. As with any left-behind order, there will be a $3.00 fee unless that order has been prepaid in full in advance. Don’t forget there is no freezer at the Center for the forseeable future, so it is imperative your items be picked up in a timely manner.

PANETTONE COMING FOR THE HOLIDAYS! Be looking for it from Dogwood Farm Bakery.
-————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Don’t forget…
If you do not receive an order confirmation within 5 minutes, your order has NOT been placed in the system. E-MAIL OR CALL US to get the problem solved so you will not be disappointed on market day.

Please remember the market closes at 10 a.m. on Monday; therefore, your order must be completed and placed, and you should be signed out of the software.
-————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
If you have any questions, please call (931.592.3399, no voice mail) or e-mail (cumberlandfm@gmail.com) us.
