Perishable subsistence (groceries) will be ordered throughout the dredging season. Perishable items (fresh produce, vegetables, bread, dairy, and deli meats) are typically ordered on a weekly basis throughout the dredging season. The delivery days and sites are coordinated with the Dredge Goetz and may occur Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

All prices shall be rounded up to the nearest cent.
