Dear friends, as you know, it is the mission of this cooperative to expand access to local food. So, after jumping through a multitude of bureaucratic hoops over the span of years, we are thrilled this week to announce that we now accept 
supplemental nutritional assistance payments via EBT card!
|
In addition, folk that use SNAP will receive free deliveries, making food assistance and local food access truly accessible! We have gratefully teamed up with Groundwork, a Traverse City non-profit whose mission it is to provide innovative local solutions that help create thriving communities, to provide delivery free of charge to SNAP recipients. |
Not only is our cooperative accepting SNAP, but we are going to accept SNAP for all the vendors at the Bellaire Farmers Market! This decision speaks to the other side of our mission, which is to increase access to the marketplace for small farmers. It took a lot of teamwork to get to this point, and we feel privileged to offer this service to small farms that would have had to jump through all those hoops themselves.
Happy Monday fellow locavores! Today is a great day to shop the co-op. The deadline to order for Wednesday is tonight at midnight. It's also a good day to order for Friday, though you do have until Wednesday at midnight. As always, feel free to make multiple orders for the same pickup or delivery, we can combine them easily. Friday pickup is now at the Higgin's General Store in downtown Alden from 3-9pm and at the Bellaire Farmers Market from 9-12 inside the Community Center at 102 Maple St. Please wait until 9:30 if you've ordered bread. There will be some inventory for sale at market, but kindly avail yourself of our pre-order system to shop from all that our farms have to offer every week. |

Local deliveries are available on Wednesdays and Fridays. Choose this option during checkout if you're looking for convenience and to reduce your carbon footprint. |
