P.S. 1: THAT'S RIGHT, WE HAVE ORGANIC OLIVE OIL SOAP AGAIN!
Surprise!
We have a limited quantity of certified organic olive oil soap that so many of you love.
We thought we had seen the last of them when the grower retired a couple of years ago.
I dropped by for a visit last November, unannounced, and saw a couple of boxes on his kitchen table. He had made them because he was tired of answering his door and telling people he had retired and there were none available.
The bars are about 50% larger than the ones you are used to. Why? He wanted to make fewer cuts per kilogram.
Please note that when these are gone we may not be able to get them in the future.
P.S. 2: FRONT PORCH PICKUPS
Front porch pickups will continue to be at 100 John St West, Waterloo. [please see aerial photo below]
You can choose any day, 7 days a week.
Send an email setting out which day/date and the approximate time range:
- MORNING: 8am-noon
- AFTERNOON: NOON-6pm
- EVENING: 6pm-10pm
You do not have to set a specific time and no need to let us know if you're running late.
Your order will be set out on the covered front porch on a low table with a post-it bearing your name on it.
