We have 12 people for the Wednesday group and at least 6 for a Monday delivery group.
A couple of things have happened:
1. The weather in California is colder than usual and is affecting the harvest for cauliflower, broccoli and romaine lettuce. For now these items are hard to come by and very expensive to purchase so we need to stay clear of them for a few weeks.
2. The produce manager just found out from his wholesale warehouse that they need a longer lead time to be able to deliver such quantities as cases to us, so now we have to order 10 days in advance. The prices are only good for a week which makes it more difficult to do the finances but I have started excel spreadsheets and will keep meticulous track of our available money and what we purchase and get charged. I hope to adjust weekly so that at the end of our 4 week period I have used up our money without too much left over to maximize what we are getting.
With that said I have put in an order for Kale, Yams, Green Peppers, Green Beans and Celery hearts on Friday and it was questionable whether we could get in on Wed. the 15th. Otherwise we would hopefully get in on the following Wednesday.
Hi Tanja!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coordinating and heading this up. Great job!
I'm particularly looking forward to checking out recipes for kale this week.
