A few of you have already checked in with me about fruit orders this year...

I e-mailed our contact Tara, and she has no idea if or when the call will come in advance of this year's organic fruit orders.

With all the possible pandemic logistics to think of, I thought we'd better get a head start on finding out our volunteer and vehicle capacity for this year.

"Why am I here?" A QUICK REFRESHER ON THE GROUP:

  •  We are a casual group of downtown Kingston-dwelling friends and neighbours
  •  We have a few opportunities each year to make bulk orders of organic stone fruit and grapes
  •  We get it at cost, from an organic farm in the Niagara region.
  •  We are a sub-group of a main group in Perth that deals with the farm directly.
  •  The e-mail list managed by me (Jolene) currently has about 90 names.
  •  I volunteered to take over this list when Wendy Luella Perkins decided she was ready to have a break.
  •  There can be anywhere between two-five opportunities to order throughout the harvest season.
  •  We have no way of knowing in advance when the first order period will begin.
  •  The order period is usually very short notice, often with 48-72 hours to confirm your order.
  •  We have no control over which day the order must be picked up, but it's usually 4-5 days after the order period is completed.
Please take the short 5-question survey to help us gauge our ordering capacity for this year!

All volunteers are compensated for gas and time - paid in cash or credit towards their order. I believe last year I did flat $60 honorariums for 3-5hour blocks of time.
