Market News



Hi Foodies!

The awesome rainbow carrots won’t be coming back for a few weeks, but there’s definitely a lot more coming out of the fields this season.

We do have broccoli this week! And the website accurately reflects whats available. Place your order on Locallygrown.net

Next week we are planning on testing our new ordering system. Its nothing to major, except that ordering will open up Friday – Monday night

and Pick ups will be Wednesday night between 6&7pm and Thursday 2-6pm.

An email and facebook msg will be sent out reminding everyone about the process.

The Birdhouse finally has again farm fresh eggs available (for pet consumption only of course), of which are coming from Ocoee FL – Lake Meadow Naturals Farm. Check them out by clicking here

Also, this week as you will see on the site, we have tomatos, broccoli, pickling cucumbers, collard greens, and more!

The boxes are changing slightly, instead of coming pre packaged, the customer/member will get to hand select the produce they want in their box.

So that means we still only have a select amount of boxes available – so be sure to buy yours asap!

So come early if you want to buy local, fresh and mostly organic produce!

Any extra produce that does not sell in the course of a week, there has been discussions about donating excess food to a local food program that the Tampa Underground runs.

Every Tuesday night, homeless and those in need congregate at the Good Samaritan off of Florida Ave and folks from the Tampa Underground facilitate a dinner for those folks.

If you are interested in helping, email bhbuyingclub@gmail.com





We first can’t thank those who have been behind the scenes making all this stuff happen – so to those who know who they are, THANK YOU for your help from farm to fork to the website and more.

Without volunteers, non of this awesome local & regional food would be possible.

If you’d like to get involved, please send an email to BHbuyingclub@gmail.com, or simply show up to the co-op near Ella’s and lets have a chat!

Some cool events & happenings are in the pipeline.

Thanks again to everyone for their support.
