Mill DATES and Order Forms

For the Mill Shadow Neighborhood, here are the Mill Dates
and Times for the upcoming months.
NOTE:  You MUST be on TIME (I'd even be a few
minutes early) OR they won't let you in let alone can.
The form also needs to be in to Holly Jessop at LEAST
a week before the actual canning date so they can
prepare what they need to but you do NOT pay until you go there.
There are 19 stakes that share this mill of ours up the street
and EVERY SINGLE day of the YEAR is FILLED with one of them so
these dates and times are PRECIOUS!!  Here we go:

1. Saturday, April 19th at 8 AM  (FORM DUE to HOLLY
JESSOP by APRIL 9TH...NO PAYMENT DUE UNTIL YOU GO TO
THE MILL ON APRIL 19TH).

2. Wednesday, June 25th at 3:00 PM

3. Wednesday, September 17th at 7:00 PM

4. Saturday, November 22nd at 11:00 AM

So there you have it. Of course there will be forms
passed around or you can download one on your very own
"Home Storage Order Form" by clicking on the site
below:

ALSO, for those wishing to buy items that have
generously already been packaged, you may do so every
Monday or Friday from 10am - 12 pm.
At these times, you are able to get anything in BULK
(weighing between 15 and 35 lbs.) PLUS the
Pre-packaged items listed on the bottom left of the
