And here are some answers:

How do I order?


Each Sunday evening, a list of available products is sent to all of our registered customers by e-mail. The growers identify the amount of produce they have available and the price. Buyers are free to purchase from different growers.

Customers must place their order for the week no later than Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. Orders can be placed here on our website.

Ordering through this web site 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.

Why Support Locally Grown?


Enhance our local economy: By purchasing produce and other items from local growers you are providing stability to our 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. The growers are here in our community so the expenses of transportation and delivery are kept to a minimum.

Supporting a way of life: The number of small farms in the United States has decreased dramatically in the last decade. Buying food locally renews an honest and worthy means of making a living.

We believe that small, diverse, family-owned farms contribute to society’s overall health.
