DRIVE-THROUGH Pre-Order Market

Limited One Hour Market: 10:00am to 11:00am
Mercy Health Lakes Village
6401 Harvey St. at US31/Pontaluna Rd.
To our Sweetwater Community:
It’s hard to believe it’s been 12 weeks now since the virus came to town and changed all of our lives. Thank you all for your cooperation in helping make this One Hour Pre-Order Drive Up Market work! Like all area farmers markets we are now requiring all vendors to wear masks and practice social distancing.

We would like to know how you feel the market is going! What can we do to improve your market experience? Please take a second and give us your feedback here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GYTBBNL

If you are new to the market please read the directions below and see the map.

Here are the steps to take to secure your place in line this coming Saturday, June 6th:

1. Look over the list below. Each vendor has a unique deadline for when they need to receive your pre-order depending on their product. Send your pre-order to each vendor you want to order from, within their required deadlines.
2. Vendors will respond back by no later than Friday before market day with an order confirmation and an invoice that in most cases will allow you to pre-pay for your order. If a vendor is not set up to take payment online they will accept checks (preferred) or cash in a sealed envelope on market day pickup.
3. Market Day. Important! Please see the attached map with arrows indicating which way you should plan to approach the market. We have 3 sections opened now and are refining the traffic pattern plan every week!
Please plan to line up and stay in your vehicleWe will also have signs to help point you in the right direction.
4. Please note! Using a sheet of paper at least 8.5 x 11, please list all of the vendors you have orders with in black marker (or something as visible), large enough for vendors to see it clearly.  Please put your first & last name at the top of the list. Tape or hold up the list to the side window or front windshield where it will be most visible. It’s very helpful if you make two signs, one for each side, so that way vendors don’t have to cross back and forth in front of your vehicle to see your list.
5. Have your trunk, or designated area of your car ready to receive your goods. As weather warms (if it ever does) think about bringing a cooler for frozen, refrigerated items.
6. As you drive through, each vendor will bring your order to your vehicle and place it in the trunk or other designated space, and collect payment if you have not paid in advance. Again, please have checks (preferred) or cash in a sealed envelope with your name and the name of the vendor on the outside of it.

Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Hello,
We will accept orders until noon on Friday. Friday afternoon we will get everyone their total. If you don’t hear from me by 5pm, please contact me. We accept cash or check payable to Pine Row Farm.
Please note a variety of updates and new items that follow.
100% grass fed beef:
Shank $5/#
Heart $4/#
Suet $1/#
Tongue $5.50/#
Soup bones $2/#
Roasts $6.50/#
Ground beef: The processor has mixed our round and sirloin into this batch unfortunately. We are advertising it at $7.50/# to not lose as much money off their error.
Pasture has finally taken off after the repeated hard freezes of early May. We have been busy moving the three different groups through the summer lots. The calves this year are doing a great job of learning to “take the gate”. It makes the process so much easier for everyone involved!
Eggs! 
We have  duck and goose eggs for sale. Our poultry is free range and has certified organic feed available from neighboring Heritage Organics. Duck eggs are $8/ dozen, and goose eggs are $2 each, 2 for $3, or $18 per dozen.
Honey 
We have the following honey, in plastic squeeze bottles:
12 oz bear $6
1# raw $8
2# $12
We are pleased to announce that we hived 9 additional bee colonies Saturday evening. All of our hives are working hard in spite of the windy conditions.
Fall Whole Broiler Chicken 
We haven’t done these for sale since the first year we started selling at Sweetwater. We were concerned about getting chicks, but 2 weeks ago our order of 70 came through, making us feel confident it’s realistic. These will be whole, bagged, young chickens raised on certified organic feed from Heritage Organics. We will take orders, then once chicks arrive, deposits are due, with the balance due at delivery. Please include your phone number with orders. We will assess demand and decide if we move forward with these.
Fall Pork
We haven’t raised pork for sale since 2010. We have located feeders for late June. They will be raised on certified organic feed from Heritage Organics, and sold only by halves. Please include your phone number with orders.
We hope you and your families are all doing well, and remain grateful for your commitment to supporting local, small farms,
Bill and Sarah (and the kids),
