Good evening,
Boy, are we glad to be back! Thank you for all of your patience while we took a much needed pause. Our mission is to provide the community with fresh, local products, and we wanted to make sure we are doing everything we can to safely continue that work. Luckily, we have a really thoughtful and creative Board to help us create protocols for right now and in the future.
Take some time to click around the Market site. You might recognize some of our vendors from Town Park who have decided to join us over here until we can get back outside. If you’re in need of soap, you’re in luck, check out the “Artisan Products” section for a wide variety of products from Red Bear Goat Farms! We’re also excited to have Heritage Farms back Online with a variety of live plants. We have also added an option under “Support the Market” to make a $5 donation, if you can, to help the Market continue operating with the extra safety protocols currently in place (extra staff, credit card processing fees, cleaning supplies).
And now, here is the information you need to know. Please read all of the instructions so we can help each other make sure we are operating as safely and as efficiently as we can.
Here is how the Market will work:
The Online Market will shift to a Friday Pickup from 2-6pm. By appointment (click here to schedule your pickup time). The Market will open for orders Friday at 8pm and close Wednesday at 8pm.
You will order as usual, but now you will PAY On-line. You may want to strengthen your account password, although the ordering process will take you to a secure server. You may pay by credit card or you can estimate your monthly shopping and send a check payable to the Independence Farmers Market that will be deposited in your account and your credit will be reduced as you shop. A similar system will be set up for SNAP and senior coupon users, please contact Michelle for assistance. 276-655-4045 or 276-768-0597. New customers are welcome.
All orders must be placed using the On-line Market, Independence Farmers Market. If you have difficulty creating an account or have limited internet or computer skills, please call Michelle at 276-655-4045 or 276-768-0597 to place orders for you during regular ordering period
Please choose your preferred pick up time using this link Calendly. We are scheduling 3 customers every 15 minutes. Please pick an alternate time if your first choice is already full. Your bin will be ready on a table at curbside. Please let staff move away from the table BEFORE you exit your car. Please remove your products and leave the box. Be sure to bring a cooler for perishable items.
