Are there membership fees?
There is no membership fee for customers to participate in our online market.
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, 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?
On Wednesdays at noon, we’ll email you a list of available products. Customers must place their order for the week no later than Thursday at 6:00 p.m. Orders can be placed here on our website.
When do I pay?
You’ll pay online when you check out. That ensures a contactless experience for you!
If you want to use EBT/Snap you must contact us before placing your order.

When and where do I pick up my order?
From 10am-11am Saturdays, pick up your order at 115 Academy Street – in the parking lot of the Greene County Partnership.
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.
