This Week's Food (9/23/10)

Welcome Fall! This week I am only taking orders from folks that can pick up from my house on monday night or tuesday morning. Only the flat order fee of $2 will apply to orders this week. Please keep in mind that I need to store your food until you pick it up and my refrigerator does not have lots of space so the faster pickup the better :-)

Also, this is the week for Neshaminy Valley Natural Food orders. Due to me on sat, the truck comes next wednesday. If your order has nothing that has to be kept cold, it can stay here until the following monday. If you have things to be kept in freezer/fridge, you will need to pick it up wednesday after the truck comes (I'll call you).

Orders due by 11 am saturday.
