Are there membership fees?

To help us with our overhead costs, we ask that you pay an annual fee of $25 per household for one calendar year. You are welcome to try us for two orders before officially becoming members.
Your third order will automatically add the fee.

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 do I order?

Each Saturday morning at 8am, an email with 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 Monday at 8:00 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?

When you place an order, you are committing to pay for those items ordered.
We take payment in several ways:
Cash
Check
Credit Card at pickup (3%Fee for all credit card orders)

Because we may have to adjust your total then (to account for unannounced items you decide to purchase or items that were unexpectedly unavailable), we do not accept advance payment on the website.

If you fail to pick up your items, you will still be expected to pay the amount due.

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.

Ordering info and Suggestions

Here’s a few tips to help you have the best experience to ordering online.

• Ordering begins at 8am, once you receive the email, go ahead and place your order, early birds get the worms!

• Look for a confirmation email, if you don’t receive one,then your order was not placed.

• Arrive between the open hours 1pm-6pm
  orders will not be held after this time frame.

• If you know prior to 8pm on Monday that you need to cancel, send an email or text 404-317-2647 and it will be cancelled.
  If not, your order will be placed for sale on the “extras table”and hopefully your fellow customers will buy it and you wont be charged.
  The growers will be paid for their products regardless.

• Bring your reusable bags

• If you have a cell phone, please make sure that number is on your account.
