Citrus Sales begin today, September 26, 2011 in Augusta County.

Orders will be taken during the month of October. All members must place their order with Mrs. Shomo on a special form no later than November 4th. The form will be given to you at the end of October.

If you receive an order in November, take it and turn it into Mrs. Shomo. I do order extra fruit. We will sell fruit until the last box is gone! You will get credit for all of the boxes that you sell!Delivery to BMMS via tractor-trailer will be on December 6th, if all goes well between here and Florida.
