These products can be delivered on Saturday, December 2.
“Salamat sa napakalaking suporta na nakukuha namin sa inyo. Malaking tulong dahil nakakabayad kaagad sa farmer at nagagamit nila kaagad ang binabayad ninyo para magamit ulit sa pagtatanim, bumili ng mga seedlings, pataba at pambayad sa mga tumutulong sa kanila sa farm,” the online grocery said.
