2015 Member News


First, thank you again for being a member!   We have 220 members so far!  Those of you who have purchased $50 memberships and lifetime memberships are providing an important operating cushion for the store…and earning it back each time you shop.  Thank You!

BSM three months in:  How is it going? 
We are pleased to report that Boone Street Market sales have been stronger than the original estimates we made before the store opened.  Average sales for our first three months are $24,000/month.  This means we have already helped local producers earn $60,000, and between the farmers market and the store, we can conceivably add $500,000 to the local economy this year! While the store will not break even on operating expenses until our sales are about $35,000/month, we are off to a very good start, and we hope to hit that target with the addition of the kitchen and during the produce-filled summer months on the horizon.

Thanks to everyone who has shopped at the store, please keep coming back!
          
Member special promotion:  10% off on Saturday, Feb 7th
Come to Boone Street Market for lunch!  We will celebrate the grand opening of our kitchen this Saturday.  10% discount for members on any purchase from the kitchen or from the store! 

Hours Change:  9 am-6 pm Weekdays, 10-5 Saturdays
For the remainder of the winter, we are going to open and close a little earlier.  This is in response to customer traffic patterns--we anticipate extending hours to 7 pm in the spring.    

Online ordering update
Our original vision was to offer online ordering from store inventory for our members.  This has proven far more complicated than we anticipated.  Our ETSU computing advisors have suggested there is simply no feasible way to do what we want at this time.  For that, we apologize!  But we’re not giving up…..read on:

We want you to have some shopping perks—we’ll just have to do it another way.  Please pick up the phone and call anytime during store hours (753-4722).  Matt or Veronica or the volunteer cashier on duty will be happy to answer questions about a product you are looking for, and we’ll set it aside for you to come and pick up.  Please feel free to use this good old fashioned personalized service any time!  We mean it!

Volunteer opportunity for drivers
Volunteers are needed for all-day drives to the Asheville area and West Jefferson, NC, to pick up products for the store.  We will provide a detailed itinerary and reimburse you 20 cents per mile.  If interested, please talk to Matt.

Kitchen needs:
If anyone has extras, we could still use these items to equip our kitchen: plates and bowls, drinking glasses (not mugs), colanders/mesh strainers, storage containers, and a grater.

JFM News 
Many have asked about the farmers market, and the answer is Yes! the Saturday Jonesborough Farmers Market will be back in its East Courthouse Square location starting in May.  Preparations are well underway for another wonderful season of the outdoor market; our managers are attending conferences this spring and are already full of plans and ideas for our 8th market season.  More news closer to time!   Key Dates:  May 2nd, Saturday Market opens; August 22, 5th Annual Farm to Table Dinner
