Berry Orders 2009

We will be doing the bulk berry orders from Bithell Farms like we did last year. If you participated last year, you know these were good quality berries! Please be sure to pick up an order form and all money must be turned in to Cheryl by JUNE 21. The berries come frozen and ready to be used. It is recommended that you divide up the large boxes into smaller bags so that you don't have to thaw the entire box each time you want a small amount. There is a wide variety of berries available, so be sure to get an order form.
