Going on Summer Break, Last week to order


St Thomas Locally Grown Online Farmer’s Market.

Summer Vacation Time!

Dear Customer,

This is the last week of orders until the fall! Get in one more before the fall!

As the summer heat kicks in full force, the market is going on Summer Break! The market will be closed for July and August and will re-open again in September. Thanks so much for shopping locally using this online platform. The growers have enjoyed selling through it and will be back again in the fall. They’ll be able to use the time to plant and prepare for fall crops and production.

So, what does this mean for you for July and August?

How to stay in contact with your growers?
Many still have produce and products available. The Moringa Experience has a website you can order her items through. Some have Facebook group pages, etc. Some participate in the Farmers Market from Yacht Haven Grande that now meet the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month right next to Market Square in downtown Charlotte Amalie.

When will the online market start back up again?
Not sure exact week but it will be in September, evolving around hurricane season. If September is very active, we’ll start back in October. Best way to stay in touch is through our emails and our Facebook page. We’ll email out again in late August with a better time estimate.

Thank you very much for shopping with us. We look forward to serving you again in the fall. Thanks for shopping local. Check out our Facebook page, and help spread the word that one of your favorite ways to buy local is through the online market! We’ll need your help in the fall to get word out again!
Have a great summer, stay hydrated, eat lots of mangoes, and we’ll see you in the fall.

Yours Truly,

St Thomas Locally Grown Farmers Market Team!!
