Market Basket Details
$1 off first-time orders
How it works: Each Tuesday we go to the Farmer’s Market and bring back lots of vegetables and fruits that are sorted into small laundry baskets. You just pick up your basket and leave a basket (provided by us) from the previous week as well as your payment. You can order weekly, every other week, or whatever best fits your needs. Baskets are available in these sizes:
Regular for $15.50 (see cart below for examples)
Mini for $9.00 (half-quantities, full head of lettuce)
Grande, $20, has an extra $5 of mostly veggies added to the regular basket
Bonus baskets, $15.50, have less variety, but more quantity, mostly fruits (so maybe 16 apples, a melon, 2 lb. grapes, and 1 lb. strawberries.
$5 bags have a small amount of produce and are available first-come-first serve. Retail value of the produce will probably be $8 – $10.
Orders must be received by noon. Mondays.
Pick-up locations:Basic Chiropractic,Murdock Elementary, Arnold Mill Elementary, The Glen Kingsgate (Trickum between Arnold Mill and Hwy 92). Please email us for specific instructions and times for each location. We will consider other location with a minimum of 8 weekly baskets.
To join the fun:
1) Email before noon Monday to order a full or half basket.
2) Be at the designated pick-up location during above times with cash or check.
3) Check out the New Customer Letter page on this blog.
4) Enjoy! Occasional e-newsletters give tips and recipes for using the produce.
5) Next week, repeat above. Return empty basket when you pick up new one! Easy!
Note: Once you have tried the baskets, you can ask to be put on the regular weekly or every other week schedule or choose the will call option. Then you only need to contact us when there is a change in plans.
