NOTICES

PRODUCE VENDOR OPENINGS:  Throughout the Winter we have been busily planning for the upcoming Summer Market.  We already have a couple new vendors lined up to join the market mid March, along with our favorite vendors returning from last summer, when their gardens thaw enough to plant (more on that in future newsletters).  We do, though, have openings for produce vendors.  Please help us spread the word about these openings; and, remember that all produce sold at LEWFM is grown using no synthetic chemicals.

To learn more, please email us Here. 

SPECIAL VOLUNTEER REQUEST:  If you have experience in developing software programs and/or web based online ordering systems we would love to hear from you ASAP.
