Hello and Happy Thursday!  I hope you all are enjoying the short week.

I'm sorry about the bananas. We check EVERYTHING before it makes its way on the truck but unfortunately this one snuck by us.

A few housekeeping items:

• Please make sure you leave a cooler out if you're not going to be home to receive your order. The cooler should be VERY LARGE, with ice packs. Please make sure it's large enough for us to drop in and close the lid. Our baskets are FULL, and if you have add ons like eggs, etc I have to decide what makes the cut to be in the cooler. That's a lot of pressure! 

• Please don't leave several small coolers. We are trying to get everyone's orders to them in a timely manner and unpacking/repacking slows us down. 

• If you'd prefer to have your order placed in a specific location please let me know and I'll write a reminder to myself on your bag.

• If you'd like a text message to alert you when your order is out there please let me know.

• Substitutions: We try our best to make everyone happy and if you absolutely do not eat something please let me know and I'll try to switch it out with something comparable. (Example: kale for an order of peaches is not comparable)

• Bad/yucky/forgotten items. Sometimes we get it wrong, but please allow us to try and make it right! If you receive an item and it's bad or just completely left out please let me know and I'll either drop it off, send you a refund or issue you a credit. 

• Thank you for ordering early and paying on time. It's such a huge help!

• If you would like to pick up at The Queen's Pantry please make sure your order is $35 or over. If your order is under $35 you're welcome to pick up at our home near Walton High School.

•  I'll also be emailing you all on Wednesdays if I have any extras available for pick up before opening it up on social media. 

Summer fruits and vegetables are in full swing! I've added more add-ons to our order form (see above about forgetting things in your order). Seedless watermelons, okra and shelled lady peas are new for the season in from Florida and South Georgia. I cannot WAIT for lady peas, Vidalia onions and bacon with a side of chow-chow, green beans, corn on the cob, sliced cucumbers and tomatoes, fried okra......

We've connected with a new honey vendor! He has 150 hives and is located just up the road in Dawsonville. We're still working out the details, more information will be coming soon.

We'll also be adding new jarred items weekly. We're looking to add new items and we'd love your feedback!

$35 Mixed basket includes: 4 ears of corn, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, yellow/orange bell peppers, Vidalias, carrots, peaches blueberries, plums, herbs

Add-ons: Spring mix, tomatoes, okra, avocados, lady peas, okra, peaches, bananas, blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, chow-chow, traffic jam, 5 pepper strawberry jelly, FROG jam, TOE jam, honey, herb infused salts, sourdough starter.

Place your orders by NOON Monday for delivery Tuesday/Wednesday.

THANK YOU FOR SENDING PAYMENT ON TIME!

I know I'm not alone in saying I have a love/hate relationship with social media. I try to respond to any questions, tags, messages, etc as soon as I can but the amount of spam I've been getting lately is crazy!  If you ever have a question or would like to share a recipe, etc please feel free to text me. I'll get back to you much faster that way. I have my phone on do not disturb during certain hours but I check it frequently. 

Four years ago this week Jon and I rebooted our business and haven't looked back.  We absolutely could NOT have done this without all of you. Thank you for growing with us and allowing us to have a small part in making your lives healthier and hopefully easier! Have a great weekend!

You can find our most recent order form on the front page of our website.
