Dale Graff - Delivery July 28

Hi,
Here is what I will have available for delivery on Saturday, July 28.
I have finally been able to get my hands on some organic apricots, peaches, nectarines and potatoes so take a look.
Order deadline will be 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Thanks,
Dale Graff

**Bargain alert - Woodland, WA Blueberries - This farm doesn't use pesticides. They do spray a fungicide on the bushes just before bloom so none of the fungicide is on the berries.

I will keep in touch with the grower for more boxes but chances are not good. 20 lb. box for $42 ($2.10/lb).

HELP - 5 Gallon Buckets

Does anyone know where to find some food grade 5 gallon buckets for a great price?  Used are fine as they would be for long term storage of grains and legumes.  I have called Walmart and Safeway bakeries for icing buckets, but they don't sell or give them away anymore.

Raspberries

I gleaned raspberries from Heidi Torian's today and there are still tons left!  She has welcomed the ward to go and pick them so they don't go to waste.  I don't know the variety, but they are thornless and very large.  They won't last too much longer so go and pick soon.  Thanks Heidi!
