We are starting to ramp up business as the growing season slowly picks up from the wet summer and fall that delayed planting for farmers.
So keep your eyes peeled for new items popping up on the website!
We are all right now volunteering for the buying club – no one is on salary currently and everyone is pulling together to make purchases because of the desire to build a food system we can trust and because of a common belief that healthy food is right!
So if you have time and or professional skills, ideas, please don’t hesitate to join in.
Just email a resume and interest to BHbuyingclub@gmail.com
Come out and check out the new space across the street from Ella’s Folk Art Cafe!
