WOW! The response to our Grassroot Food Box has been remarkable. So much so, we haven’t even been able to respond to everyone who has shown interest in participating. To the hundreds and hundreds of people waiting patiently to order your locally sourced foods, WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT & UNDERSTAND YOUR NEED FOR LOCALLY SOURCED FOOD! This is our first time coordinating the logistics for a CSA style food box, with Guy handling 100% of the workload. There is room for growth and want to assure everyone that our goal is to scale things at a rate where we can ensure the quality. That being said, we have closed orders for this week, so Guy can prepare, execute and distribute our first 100 food boxes for pick-up and delivery. 💗 Later this week, we will be sending out our grocery list to everyone who has asked to be on the distribution list. We appreciate your support, interest and patience. #localfood #foodsystems #foodbox #communityfocusedfoodsystems #supportlocalagriculture
