The Campaign Begins

Well, we've undertaken a product line expansion and initiated a marketing campaign. There's a new ad breaking today in The Lebanon Reporter, and I've sent a press release to the local media.

Basically, we'll be delivering organic whole milk from Trader's Point Creamery and French bread from Breadsmith's of Indianapolis in addition to our own eggs and meats. We've purchased and refitted a small trailer with a milk cooler and a bread rack, so my little S-10 should be able to pull things just fine. Our first run is going to be next Tuesday.
