DON'T FORGET! FRIDAY JULY 10, 2020 WE HAVE QUADRUPLE-PACKED MEALS, AS WELL AS A SPECIAL FARMERS MEAT BOX TO GO WITH OUR MEALS. FREE OF CHARGE AND FULL OF WONDERFUL ITEMS!
WE APOLOGIZE IF YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE A FARMERS BOX ON WEDNESDAY JULY 8TH, OUR ORDER WAS SENT SHORT BY 100 BOXES.

ON WEDNESDAYS (FARMER BOX DAY), OUR BUSES MAY LEAVE A SITE EARLY, ONLY IF ALL OF THE BOXES HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED, DUE TO DIFFERENT FACTORS LIKE... HIGH TEMPERATURES, SHORT STAFFED AND ORDERS BEING DELIVERED BACK AT THE SCHOOL ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES.
