Thank you very much for your purchases. We had 187 members order 1,853 different items this cycle. Total purchases were $11,247, which is less than same cycle sales last year. Not sure what’s going on. One factor is we don’t have a WDM pickup this week because the road by the church there will be blocked off because of the Valley High School homecoming parade.

Seems people are really busy time with things like vacations. It’s growth, which is good. We’ve got plans for activities to help grow more that’ll be implemented over the next ten months or so of our current fiscal year. We’ll keep you in the loop on these as we move forward.

We really appreciate your purchases. It’s a good growth rate, but our budget has us growing 20% in the fiscal year that started July 1. We’ll keep working at things that’ll hopefully lead to higher increases in sales, which is what our producers are wanting.

IFC Pick-up is this Thursday: Note different ANK pick up location!

We had 212 members order 2,114 different items this cycle. Total purchases just over $12,000. We are okay with that number. It seems counter intuitive, but summer time sales through IFC go down because of options like farmers’ markets. plus a lot of our members have home gardens. So, we really appreciate your purchases.

NOTE: First Family Church in Ankeny has its Vacation Bible School this week, so we’ll use the parking lot of Ankeny Sanitation, which is just west of the church on the same side of the road. Look for a sign along the road and our popup tent. It’s suppose to be a nice day, so doing it outdoors will be fun.

IFC Pick-up is this Thursday!

We had 208 members order 2,250 different items this cycle. Total purchases right at $13,000. Last year’s same cycle sales were $11,698, so that’s about an 11% growth in same cycle sales.

We are happy with that number. It seems counter intuitive, but sales through the IFC go down in the summer because of other options like farmers’ markets.

So, we really appreciate your purchases.
