- truly free ranged eggs.
- natural freshly milled baked goods.
- artisan crafts.
- We are always looking for more passionate producers to join us!
Why Support Locally Grown?
- 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. (No Farms, No Food)
- Enhance 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.
- Freshness: Locally Grown foods are the freshest you can find anywhere! Produce is picked to your order, eggs are packed just before delivery.
- Save natural resources: Buying locally makes you a valuable link in the process of saving resources such as fossil fuels and packaging materials. 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.
We offer several convenient pick up locations. For details, see Q&A page.
PAYMENTS
Once you have placed an order, it goes directly to the grower. Your account is charged, and the grower is paid. We have no way to restock an item. You are responsible for picking up your order, once it is dropped off at the site of your choice.
