Market Is Open

Good morning ALFN members!

What a wonderful market we had yesterday. We had quite a bit of produce go through the market. Once again, we have a smorgasbord of items on the market this week.

For those of you who ordered dry goods last week, remember we will make aim to get the delivery window for the middle of June. We will notify all those who ordered when the items have arrived and are ready for pick up. Thanks for your interest! Those dry goods are still available for order over the next few weeks, so take advantage of the opportunity!

NextDoor

Part of living an intentionally local life involves not just ordering from local farmers, but know your local neighbors. It can often be difficult to know how to be present in our neighborhoods and stay in touch with everyone.

I’m always interested in tools that facilitate communication for regional groups, and I thought I would mention NextDoor. This app was brought to my attention by another member of ALFN. The app connects you into a neighborhood online posting board that provides a platform for fellow neighbors to post questions, events and alerts. From cautioning neighbors of a robbery to having folks look for a lost pet, NextDoor is a great way to provide a data stream for neighborhood news. If you have a chance check it out. You may even see other ALFN members in your area!

Take care,
