<h2>A Bountiful Harvest Special for You!</h2> <p align="left">Everything is picked. Everything is packed up into storage. Everything is ready to ship. We are awaiting the first snowfalls while working hard to get the last of the equipment serviced and put under cover before it gets buried in snow. Winter is coming and for many of our growers and producers it has been a long season and a welcome break is on the way (including my own team on our farm in BC).</p> <p align="left">It has been a very productive year - lots of excellent soil has been planted, tended and harvested, we've welcomed new growers into our food family, and we have lots of excellent harvest going into the bins, sea containers, coolers, and trucks scattered around Alberta and BC to store over the winter for you.</p> <p align="left">As a thank-you to our members and to our entire food family, we have an excellent promotion for you this fall. </p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="left"><img style="WIDTH: 369px; HEIGHT: 200px" title="10off_coupon" alt="10off_coupon" src="/uploadedImages/009_-_This_Week/discount_coupon.png" width="369" height="200" /></p> <p align="left">Between now and November 30, when you spend $100 or more on your weekly or biweekly order, we will give you $10 back.
