IFC Pick-up is Thursday!

Hi. The number of folks ordering this cycle was 259, and sales totaled about $15,500, or about 7% more than this cycle last year. Those are good numbers, especially considering we were at about $8,000 on Saturday morning. That’s $7,500 is the last two or so days, which is quite remarkable.

So, thank you very much for that bump is sales. We have incredible members, both producers and consumers.

Now it’s time to make it all happen. If you are getting this by email, we’ll have your products ready for you to this week. Here is some information on distribution:

1. If you are picking up at Franklin Plaza, please check out products available for purchase in our Retail Center. There’s good stuff you can add to your online orders.

2. Specifics on times and locations for all our sites are available with this link and to the left.

NOTE: IF YOU ARRIVE BEFORE THE SCHEDULED START TIME, OUR VOLUNTEERS WON’T BE READY. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY AND BE PATIENT.

3. Our alternative pick up time will be from 10:30 am to noon on Saturday, March 31st. If we don’t see you Thursday, we’ll assume you are coming Saturday or have made other arrangements.

Together, we can be the change; our future is now.

IFC Pick-up is Thursday!

Hi. The number of folks ordering this cycle was 234, which is about 30 fewer that we’ve seen the last few cycles. Not surprising, though, because it’s spring break week for a lot of folks. On the upside, sales totaled about $13,750 this cycle, or about 15% more than this cycle last year.

So, we are still growing at a decent rate, which is great. Thank you. We have incredible members, both producers and consumers.

Total purchases were just over $17,000, which is remarkable because we were at about $7,000 in sales Saturday morning. That means members purchased close to $10,000 in products during the last two and a half days of  shopping. That’s amazing, and we are so thankful for all of your purchases.

We had 232 members order 2,272 different items this cycle from 75 different producers. These products will be picked up by consumers at nine locations, or they’ll be delivered to five homes.

Total purchases were about $15,300. That’s about 8% less than the total from this cycle last year, but for some reason last December’s first cycle was larger than normal, so we’re not at all concerned. So far this fiscal year (since July 1) we are at 8.5% sales growth, which is very good. And we greatly appreciate your purchasing from our producers.

This was a special cycle, meaning a Tuesday distribution during Thanksgiving week, so we weren’t sure how our consumer members would respond.

We are pleased with your purchases. Total sales were just over $14,000, and we had 208 members order 2,181 different items from 70 different producers to be picked up at nine locations or delivered to seven homes.

Sales for the two November distributions this year were 11% more than the two we had last November.

So, thank you all so much. We’ll have your products ready for you to pick up.
