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 Friday morning, the "Bits and Bites Newsletter is sent to all of our registered customers by e-mail. Customers must place their order for the week no later than Monday at 8:00pm. 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?

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.

When and Where do I pick up my order? And..what if I cannot pickup my order?

It is important to call us if you are unable to pickup your order. You can reach the

We pay the Farmers/Growers/Artisans for you when they deliver your order. If orders are not picked up, the amount of the order comes from our pockets. For this reason, your account will be charged for the order even if you do not pick it up. All unclaimed items at the close of Market are donated to Market Volunteers or the Food Bank close to our pickup location. Legally, we are NOT permitted to store any items!

We are not inflexible – we understand that “Life Happens” and we will do everything we can to make arrangements with you so that picking up your items does not become added stress when you have an emergency! Remember, you need to let us know!

Failure to pick up your order twice, will necessitate keeping a credit card on file for future orders.

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.

How can I sell through this market?

You should have a good understanding of how we work before you apply for Farmer/Grower/Artisan status. We would like you to first become a customer and place a couple orders so you can see firsthand how we operate. Things go so much more smoothly if you’d join us as a customer first. Unless you have received an invitation from us to join as a Farmer/Grower/Artisan, your request to sell will be denied if you have never shopped at our Market.

After you have registered as a customer and shopped the Market, read the Grower Guidelines and determined that your products fit within the parameters, click on the Our Grower tab at the top of the page. At the bottom of the Grower Page, click on “If you would like to sell through this market, please tell us about yourself and a market manager will contact you.” Complete the information page and email your licenses, required by the state, county of city, documentation of your certifications, and a signed copy of the Grower Guidelines to heirloomlivingmarket@gmail.com.

You will be contacted by either Maryanne or Mary to discuss your application and to schedule a visit to your Farm or place of business.

Does Heirloom Living Market have more than one pickup location?

Yes! At the present time, we have 3 Markets each with a different pickup location. Each Market is an entity unto itself.
