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, in the quantities that you want, from the farms that you want. 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.
How and when do I pay?
Payment is cash at pick up only.
If you fail to pick up your items, you will be charged a $10 restocking fee.
Canceling produce and egg orders requires 24 hour notice.
Canceling chicken orders must be done before we obtain your birds. If done after the birds have arrived, you will forfeit all monies paid.
For those of you involved in our pig-share, goat-share, or lamb share programs, please reference your signed contract and if you have any questions, please contact us.
When and Where do I pick up my order?
Pick up is by appointment only and can be at the farm or in the surrounding area.
We are located in Gordon County off of Nicklesville Rd(Hwy 136). A full address will be sent in your order notification email.
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.
