For those of you who want to give your mother a locally produced gift, you are invited to check out the Green GRRRL Wisdom booth for this week's special gift package, and at a special price, too . The Mother's Day gift bag has a Shea Lotion
Mini bar, a packet of Soothing Skin Bath Soak (about 2 uses), and a bar
of Oatmeal Honey soap. Normally retails $10.49, on sale for Mother's
Day for $8.99. If you would like further information about Green GRRL Wisdom, you are invited to visit their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/greengrrrlwisdom
We have many other vendors from whom you can purchase gifts for Mom, including food items you can prepare for Mom's Day dinner. And remember, when you purchase your food and gift items from the farmers' market you can speak directly with the person who produced the items. The vendors don't mind you asking questions; in fact, they enjoy talking about the qualities of their products. So ask away. Doing so can help you get information about how the item was grown/produced so you can feel good about the choices you make.

This is the movie the food industry doesn't want you to see. FED UP blows the lid off everything we thought we knew about food and weight loss, revealing a 30-year campaign by the food industry, aided by the U.S. government, to mislead and confuse the American public, resulting in one of the largest health epidemics in history. From Katie Couric, Laurie David (Oscar winning producer of AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH) and director Stephanie Soechtig, FED UP will change the way you eat forever.
REMINDERS
While some of you are long-time readers of the newsletter, people who are new to the market are reading the newsletter for the first time; therefore, the Reminders section is included each week so new folks can see what's happening around the market and around town.
PRE-ORDER AND SAVE $$$
Would you like to save $$$ on your food
purchases while not compromising on quality? We thought your answer
would be yes, so we devised a way for you to accomplish this. During the summer market season, a number of our vendors will be participating in Pre-order and Save $$$. Following are examples of the promotions that two vendors will be offering: Angelia’s Homemade Pies (& more) will be offering a 10% discount on all pre-ordered baked goods. Learning to Live Sustainably (L2LS): After customers
have pre-ordered a total of 12 loaves of bread they will receive their 13th loaf free.
As if Saving $$$ isn't enough, Pre-ordering has
additional bonuses for both customers and vendors. When you pre-order
your items you are ensured that your favorite foods will not be sold out
before you arrive at market. Additionally, pre-ordering cuts down on
waste of perishable foods. When you let your favorite vendors know in
advance what items you want to purchase, the vendors can then
produce/harvest the quantities needed to supply their customers.
Furthermore, our already-overly-busy vendors can use their time to make
what their customers most want. Stop by your favorite vendors' booths
to inquire about how to Pre-order and Save $$$.
As more vendors become involved in the Pre-order and Save $$$ promos we will highlight them in future newsletters. You can also see up-to-the-minute news on the market's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/lewfm.org
