And here are some answers:
Will I have to buy vegetables I don't want?
Unlike some co-ops, buying clubs, or CSAs where everyone gets the same box of stuff (and you don’t know what you’re getting until you get it), with Locally Grown you get to order what you want and in the quantities that you wan. The weekly email lists the produce, milled products, fresh flowers, and artisan goods available that week, and you can browse the items on this website before you place your order.
If you still want the thrill of being surprised we will have an “Are you feeling lucky” option where you can select a certain dollar amount and we will compile a box of goodies for you.
How do I order?
Go to “The Market” tab listed above. Every Tuesday evening the market will open for the week. You will have from then, until Thursday evening at 8pm to place your orders.
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.
If you pick up at the Sidney Farmers Market we will have a Card Reader available to use on purchases greater than $10.
When and Where do I pick up my order?
You have a couple options for pick ups and locations including:
At the Grumpy Goat Experiment:
– Tuesdays 4:00-6:30pm
– Fridays 4:00-6:30pm
– Saturdays 8am-12pm
or at the Sidney Farmers Market:
– Saturday 8:00am-12pm
If you would like to pick up in Troy on Tuesday evening please place your order through miamicounty.locallygrown.net.
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.
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.
