Market News
We had some volunteers last week; thank you very much. We really appreciate it. We still need volunteers to come forward! Our first volunteer effort was to help growers distribute orders to make the front end of the market run more smoothly. If you can come by 3:00-3:15 p.m. and stay until the market opens, please e-mail us this week (cumberlandfm@gmail.com) or call (592.3399… no voice mail).
We can always use pens, 8 1/2 × 11? scrap paper (printed on one side only but containing NO personal information), scotch tape, Sharpie markers (“fine point”), printable business card stock (2×5), and Avery labels #5160, 1?×2 5/8". Always happy to receive Lexmark inkjet black cartridge for Series S410.
This past week we had three new customers. Welcome! More customers, more growers — our new mantra!
We are currently doing planning for our growth, and we’ll be giving plenty of notice before we initiate any changes in market procedures. We want to make the process easier for both growers and customers. For example, we want to improve the flow at the market and make checkout speedier.
The Cumberland Farmer’s Market is more than just an online market, it is an organization dedicated to growing the local food economy so that farmers can make a living wage and so that everyone has access to fresh and healthy local foods. CFM Memberships are available on the market. Thank you for your support!
Unfortunately, we are still looking for delivery drivers. This is a paid position on a per-delivery charge. Pick up your order for the week, then deliver to one or more customers and get paid for it. Think about it!
