SIGN UPS ARE NOW OPEN FOR OUR

2024 CO-OP MEMBERSHIP

(may-Oct)

We want the Farmer’s Market to come to you!

In a culture that is starting to shift towards buying local food, there's one major set back...
ACCESSIBILITY

When it’s time to buy the grocery haul for the week, I get it. No one has time to go to the meat farm, the veggie farm, the local bakery, the local dairy, and then to the conventional grocery store for the pantry staples.
But what if, you could get all of these local offerings from a one stop online shop! No need to spend anytime at all traveling all over the area to source local food.

On a regenerative farm, our practices are centered around symbiotic relationships.

It's our mission to extend that to our customers too.

How does this program benefit…

  • THE CONSUMER

    Certainty: by making a commitment to buy local now, you ensure that we will provide enough product offerings this growing season for your family.

    Your Choice: You will gain access to our online farmers market and make your own choices. Sometimes veggie CSA's include some more obscure items you have no idea how to cook. We think this is a good thing to help you grow in the kitchen and introduce you to new foods. But sometimes, you just need the staples.

    Efficiency: Offering a “one stop shop” experience. If you’re taking time to shop, you want to get it all in one place. Meat, veggies, seasonal fruit, bread, pantry staples, eggs, and milk.

    Flexibility: Do you travel a lot in the summer? No problem. While we hope you will buy consistently from us, it is based on a weekly order so if you will be out of town, don't order that week.

    Convenience: We know you've got a busy schedule, create your order at your own convenience on our online farmers market. Let us do the packing and voila! Your local food is delivered to your door!

  • THE FARMER

    Working capital: We can’t stress this one enough. Growing food is a HUGE upfront investment for farmers every season. Having customers "pre-buy" their groceries helps offset the financial burden as well as...

    Planning: With a customer base established now, we can dial in what, and how much to grow this season.

    Reduce Waste: a traditional market is a lot of guess work. The farmer harvests food with the HOPE of selling it at market. And if they don't, that product can't exactly "go back in the shelf for next time".

    Consistency: We can improve our efficiency by knowing how many customers we will have each week and where we need to spend our efforts.

    Loyalty: Everyone does it a bit differently. But once the season begins, theres not a lot of time for a farmer to also be a marketer. Knowing our customers are familiar with our farm and practices before the season even begins helps us focus on the food and providing a quality product. Without having to be the "outside sales rep" too.

So How Does it Work

  • You will receive an email with your individual "Farm Card Code"

  • Your email will also have the link to our online market

  • Sit tight until May! Farmer's rely on winter income to invest in the summer/fall crops. Your farm card will not apply to purchases until we open the summer market in May.

  • Beginning the first week of May we will send out a weekly email reminder

    • The email will have a "pick list" for a quick look at what's available

    • The email will also have a link to our online store (this part of our website is only viewable to our CO-OP members)

  • The market will be open Monday through Tuesday. (Orders must be placed by 2pm Tuesday)

  • Use your individual "farm card" code at checkout

  • Receive your delivery on Thursdays

This card is intended to be used for the 2024 growing season of May-October.
Our hope is that you use it for all our yummy goodness throughout the season including veggies, meat, pantry items, strawberries, and supper club tickets.
But have no fear,
if you still have a balance at the end of the season it will roll over to the winter and following spring. Just keep in mind our winter delivery system will be a bit different. 
 

DELIVERIES:

Deliveries to Springfield will be every Thursday. We'll bring your order right to your door! Unless of course, you'd prefer to pickup your order at the farm.
$50+ orders receive free delivery in Springfield, MO. Orders under $50 will be charged $10 for deliveries in Springfield, MO.

Local addresses outside of Springfield will have an additional $20 delivery fee regardless of order cost. 

Please reach out with any questions at all! We so appreciate the honor and responsibility of feeding you and your family. Let us know how we can help!

Your farm card is also valid for any of our on farm events.

Don't forget, we've got a lot more to offer on the farm this year!
Here are some updates and info on the events, happenings, and offerings at the Co-Op this year.


UPICK STRAWBERRIES
This season is based on weather but we are hoping for a six week season May-June sometime. Watch our social media for open pick dates. Or get on the list for “pre-pick”. We do the work for your and call you when your order is ready to pick up.
