Happy back to school / holiday!

How the online pre-order form works:
https://form.jotform.com/231266729632056
It lists everything we have in stock, the price, the average price per package, and for sausages and cured meats it also lists the ingredients. Then it asks you how you’d like to pay and gives you options where you can pick up the products you ordered. Once I receive the form, I collect the products and then send you a total. When you pick up is when you pay. You can always call my cell at 23one 288 6 one one 2 to place an order if that is easier for you.
Tootaloo!
