And here are some answers:
Are there membership fees?
Not currently. Like most things that are useful and make our lives more convenient this system has a cost. The online farmers market model used by locallygrown.net does change a fee that can vary based on the market. For instance, some charge the farmers/growers 5% and the customers an additional 5%. We view this service as a convenience to us as well as our customers. Therefore, we currently absorb the fee charged by locallygrown.net for us to use this system.
How do I order?
Each weekend, a list of available products is sent to all of our registered customers by e-mail. Customers must place their order for the week no later than Thursday at 5:00 p.m. Orders can be placed here on our website. Ordering through this web site is our preferred method as it is designed to reduce the amount of time it takes us to process orders as well as provide you with detailed information about our products.
When do I pay?
We accept cash or checks when you pick up your order. Because we may have to adjust your total then (to account for unnanounced items you decide to purchase or items that were unexpectedly unavailable), we do not accept advance payment on the website.
What if I have an additional question?
Please email me with your question. I will reply as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Why Support Locally Grown?
Enhance your local economy: By purchasing produce and other items from local growers you are providing stability to your local economy through the support of local businesses.
Save natural resources: Buying locally makes you an invaluable link in the process of saving resources such as fossil fuels and packaging materials. Also, we are right here in your community so the expense of transportation and delivery is kept to a minimum.
Provide learning opportunities: Locally Grown supporters provide member growers the means to help educate our community about the importance of sustainable agriculture.
Supporting a way of life: The number of small farms in the United States has decreased dramatically in the last decade. Please help us preserve an honest and worthy means of making a living.
We believe that small, diverse, family-owned farms contribute to society’s overall health.
