Independence,VA:  Market is OPEN for May 1st pickup!

*

Good evening,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Market today! We were pleased with how smoothly our new setup ran, and we hope you were too!

To Shop: Independence Farmers Market.

Please remember to schedule an appointment time to pick up your order using this link Calendy.

Honestly, I was amazed at how punctual all of you were, thank you! I will input your pickup times as they go through to make sure your orders are being processed this week. I apologize to the few who’s orders did not process. This is a learning curve for all of us and we really appreciate the continued support.

Remember, our goal is to keep us all safe and healthy. Please let us know immediately if you need to cancel your order due to illness.

We’re here to help if you have any questions. If you haven’t taken part in our new system, please read below.

Here is how the Market Works:

The Online Market picked up is now on Friday from 2-6pm. By appointment. 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. 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 the regular ordering period.

Please schedule a pick up time. 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 and a bag if you need it for the rest of your order.

Thank you for supporting the Independence Farmers Market!

Champaign, OH:  It Stoned Me

And the rain came pourin’ down
Me and Billy standin’ there
With a silver half a crown…
(Van Morrison)

Well, little local market of love customers…it was a rain soaked night, it was a cold night, and the rains continued to come down, and the car lines, at times, wrapped into St. Rt. 54….but we did it!! You did it!! We did it, together!! At times I felt like a festival director, motioning traffic, but it was such an amazing sight to see. Such an outpour of local loyalty. So many smiles, lovely comments, conversations.

There was a moment of total congested line, but then it all began to head out, again.

To say that heart is full, my soul is grateful, and that this market, it’s vendors, it’s managers, and it’s core are beyond humbled, would be putting it mildly.

You all have become market friends, we continue to add new, each week, our sales climb, and our dedication to you, has never waivered…

Your market manager would like to thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, for the love that you have for my breads, my soups, and for my hippie self…I only wish that the rain had subsided, and that I had the time, to take a video of the crowds, tonight.

As we go into better weather, I want to stand out in the drive, and film it all…

Tonight…it stoned me to my soul…

The market is now open!! Go, order, and join in this little local revolution…

Goodnight, and many love vibes…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
