- 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.
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.

We send out e-mails less than 7 times per year during the growing and harvest season.
