Cannon Falls FFA members are selling fruit to the community starting November 1st.

Starting on Monday, November 1, and ending on November 15, the Cannon Falls FFA (Future Farmers of America) chapter members will begin their annual fruit sales. Fruit sales are the primary form of fundraising each year for the FFA and the money raised will go to pay chapter fees, recreation events, and other items the chapter needs to be fun and successful for all members. 

Each member of FFA will receive an order form on November 1 with all of the items to sell. Over the course of the 15 days, they will all try to sell a minimum of $350. This is so that dues each year per member stay at a low rate. Once order forms are submitted, the sale will be over.

The fruit delivery is estimated to be on December 16, but the date is not set in stone. Sellers will deliver the fruit to customers within a day and a half of the delivery. For anyone interested in purchasing fruit from the FFA, they can contact any member starting on November 1.
