Group Buy on Fertil Pots
If any of you are gardeners and want to participate in a group buy of Fertil Pots for starting your seeds, please let Kir know by e-mailing cumberlandfm@gmail.com by Dec. 10th. We’ll coordinate the purchases into one purchase, so you don’t necessarily have to take a full case.
Here is more information on the product:

Your E-Mails to Us at the CFM
Please do not EVER do a Reply to an e-mail like this… or any other e-mail that says somewhere in the address that it is coming from cumberlandfm “via mailgun.us”. That is our third party e-mail redirection service. We cannot identify you from the e-mail unless you sign it in your Reply, and many have e-mailed recently who have not signed their e-mails. It is very difficult for us to track you down so we can answer your questions! Sometimes we have to work on it for a couple of days to determine who has sent us the e-mail. So if you have recently sent us an e-mail and have not received an answer, please e-mail us again in a new e-mail to cumberlandfm@gmail.com .
Thanks,
Kir and Linda

THIS JUST IN FROM BROWN’S HOLLAR FARM
We are selling fresh pumpkin pies again this year as a fundraiser for the Grundy County/Tracy City farmers’ market. Proceeds will go toward a storage room and possibly one addition. We will deliver on the TUESDAY before Thanksgiving UNLESS you, the customer, request a different date. You may order early, and be sure to put your desired date in the “Leave a Message for the Grower” section.
This week, we also have kale and organic turnip greens.
Thank you all so much.

THE COFFEE BREAK OPEN HOUSE
The Cumberland Farmers’ Market would like to announce its fall coffee break happening on Dec. 2, 2014, from 2-3 p.m. (before market) at the Sewanee Community Center.
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 our wonderful products online. Artisans and farmers will be displaying their wares to show everyone what will be available on the market. Customers will also be able to buy products at this time—no waiting to order!
Everyone is welcome to enjoy the free parking, free entrance, and free samples! As the weather gets colder, doesn’t it sound wonderful to have hot coffee or tea and holiday treats to sample before you buy!!
Please come and meet all the farmers you haven’t met and spend some time visiting with us.
We will be making more announcements as vendors sign up, so please put us on your calendar for this important date. We hope to see you all.-————————————————————————————————————————————————————
PLACING AN ORDER
Before you order, be sure you see the little shopping cart. 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
If you would like to have your market order delivered, have you contacted Rachel Lynch, the new Sewanee delivery driver? E-mail: radelo50@yahoo.com or phone 931-598-0774.
Don’t forget: Rachel is NOT affiliated with the CFM and, therefore, is not authorized to 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.-————————————————————————————————————————————————————
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.

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.

NEW DELIVERY DRIVER
As you all know, after 5 years, I am leaving my job as delivery driver for the CFM. Tuesday, Oct. 28, will be my last delivery. However, a new driver has come forward. Rachel Lynch has decided to take over deliveries, but two things will change.
First, customers will no longer see a delivery option on the CFM site. Instead, customers will notify Rachel directly and arrange for deliveries with her. Customers will also negotiate payment for delivery services with Rachel directly.
E-mail: radelo50@yahoo.com or phone 931-598-0774.
Second, since 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.
I have greatly enjoyed meeting and serving the CFM customers with at-home deliveries, and hope Rachel will, too.
Sincerely,
Linda-————————————————————————————————————————————————————
