It's that time of the year! We just received our order sheets and flyers this week for us to start selling fruit! We have the same options as last year, but the prices have slightly changed.

Some of our club leaders have picked up a few order sheets, but the flyers weren't here yet when they picked them up. Both order sheets and flyers are available in the office, and a PDF version of the order sheet can be found here! Make sure to turn in your order sheet to the office by March 2nd!

Contact the office at (308) 262-1022 or krosas2@unl.edu if you have any questions!
