Tennessee Tomatoes Safe
From one of our Customers who is Communication and Marketing Coordinator Tennessee Department of Health
-------------------------------------------------
Tennessee is still on the list of states recommended as safe sources for tomatoes.  I thought you might want to share with your growers and customers that Tennessee produce is still considered safe, and has not been linked in any way to these cases of illness.  We have this information on our Web site at this link, which was updated just this afternoon:  http://health.state.tn.us/healthalert.shtml.   Pick TN Products!

This is why we do what we do!  This sweetie's name is Annie. Her mom Katie told us she loves the berries.  Apparently the other evening she lunged across the table nearly out of her high chair to grab the last one in their mixed fruit bowl :)
 
Anyway... we just wanted to share this precious image.

Family Share = 1/2 bushel produce packed in a 11/9 bushel box (1.22 bush)
 
share_box.jpgWhat this means is that your box should be HALF FULL if you only receive produce only and in the case of the large box, less than half full.  The extra air space is in there for special orders, meat and in case we have larger bulky items in the box.  In the future there will be times when some of the 1/2 bu. boxes may literally be busting at the seams because the bounty is so good.  Please understand that at times like these, you will be receiving more than your agreement.  The share pictured left and above is a share that also has meat at the bottom of it, hence it looks fuller than just a produce share.
 
Second... PLEASE BE CAREFUL NOT TO TEAR THE TABS ON THE BOXES WHEN YOU OPEN THEM OR BREAK THEM DOWN IN THE FLAT! 
 
When breaking down boxes, please study the box and try to use th
