SEPTEMBER AC VENUE: THE ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER, 16 NW KANSAS AVE.

After two great weeks of doing our Tuesday pick-up at Jackson’s Corner, we are yet again shifting to a new spot. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and ask humbly for your patience as we figure out our next long-term solution for the AC venue.

For the month of September, The Environmental Center in downtown Bend has graciously agreed to host us. Please come to The Environmental Center for all September hand-outs on Tuesdays from 4:30-6:30 p.m. @ 16 NW Kansas Ave.

The organic nectarines may have arrived late this year, but alas Kimberly Orchards has pulled through.  With this, nectarines will be making an appearance in the produce shares for the 8/31 pickup and hopefully peaches will be following shortly.  Check the site often as we hope to offer these up as side items by the pound as well for all of your canning, pie, and picnic needs.
