We have been very
busy at SFGF. In addition to physically moving boxes of files and inventory
from Utah to South Carolina, we are updating our website, working on new book
deals (Mel is writing two new books), and we have hired some new staff. The
restyled website will be more user-friendly, offer even more resources, and will
accommodate new technology such as smart phones.
Our new production
facilities in S.C. are bigger and better. We have partnered with the Christ
Central Bethel Recovery House to create our new cypress boxes. In South
Carolina over the past several months, we helped install 14
community gardens, and we hosted a Food Revolution Day event at Alcorn Middle School
in conjunction with Columbia
University.
We are expanding our
product line. Hopefully, the new fall lineup will inspire and delight you, our esteemed
certified SFG teachers!
There's more great
news! Because we are establishing small distribution centers at strategic
locations across the U.S.,
we will soon be able to ship Mel's Mix from our own distribution centers. This
means orders will go more smoothly and we save on shipping costs (which rise
higher daily it seems).
Summer is upon us
and it is a great time for Farmer's Markets, outdoor demonstrations, garden
contests, and trade shows. I hope you make the best of them all, especially our
six contests!
We're also expanding
our newsletters. If you haven't already, please sign up to get the general
newsletter, as well as this special edition teacher's newsletter. Inside this
issue, you'll find lots of tips to help make teaching easier, and to help you
promote your business, as well as stories about SFGF and our teachers. Send us your story or bio – we'd love to feature
you! Here's to your continued success!
Until next time, Happy
Gardening,
Victoria
