Market News
Hi Foodies!
Starting this week – we are testing our new ordering system.
ordering is open now and will close Monday night.
You now can order ANYTHING – EVEN IF the quantity says zero (email BHbuyingclub@gmail.com if there’s something you want and is ‘sold out’)
Pick ups will STILL be Wednesday night between 5&7pm (volunteer run) and Thursday 2-6pm (call ahead case by case basis)
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 heirloom beets, broccoli, eggplant, baby spring mix, 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’ll be there this Tuesday at 5:30pm – email if you want to join!

We 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.
