Hello everyone!
RCM will be open for ordering this week as usual Friday-Sunday. This coming Tuesday (April 18th) The Taste of The Valley event will be taking place downtown in and around the depot. To avoid any difficulties in dropping off or picking up orders, we are changing our market day to Wednesday the 19th for this week only! Please drop off orders between 2:00 and 3:45 and pick up as usual between 4:00 and 7:00 on Wednesday the 19th. Enjoy Taste of the Valley on Tuesday and come pick up your orders or shop the extras table on Wednesday! Please let us know if this change creates any barriers to drop off or pick up and we will work with you to find a solution!! We want to make sure everyone gets to enjoy their RCM groceries! Thank you for supporting your local growers and makers!

Attn: Growers
TASTE OF THE VALLEY REQUEST
Danielle Housenick with Main Street Russellville sent me an email asking if anyone would be interested in donating any items for the silent auction at their event. Examples could be: gift certificates, jam/jelly, honey, sauces, candles, personal care items etc. If you choose to donate any items you will receive a tax receipt. Feel free to contact the Depot or me if you have questions! They will need to receive any items you choose to donate by Monday at the latest. I apologize for being slow to pass this information on… We are blessed to have such a good relationship with the Main Street Russellville organization and we are appreciative of the fact that changing locations to the depot has definitely been positive for our market! We not only have the use of a prime downtown space at no cost but the depot staff are always going above and beyond to help out and share information about the market! Thank you all for creating amazing products and sharing them with our community!

Sincerely,
Ariel Finkenbinder
Executive Director
