Sign up for our weekly newsletter to stay up to date on co-op happenings and to be reminded to order your local food groceries weekly.
Our online store is always open and we schedule pickups and deliveries on Wednesdays and Fridays year-round. To order click on shop now and choose which day you would like to order for, order the items you would like, then choose the location you would like to pickup at or get delivered to. There is no membership fee for shoppers! Producers then gather beforehand to pack your bag together. Each order cycle ends the day before you pickup so that our producers have time to harvest, organize, and package your items.
Wait, so when do I need to order again? To order your groceries for Friday pickup or delivery you must order by Wednesday at midnight. To order groceries for Wednesday pickup or delivery you must order by Monday at midnight.
Why aren't the co-op's order cycles open all the time? Just as food grows in cycles, farmers harvest in cycles, so we order food in cycles. Our store is open all week, but we need the day before you pickup to harvest, organize and pack your order, so only one cycle is open during that time. Join our email notifications and we will remind you weekly!
Do you need to be a member to shop the co-op? No, we are a producer co-op. There are no membership fees or minimum purchase needed to shop the co-op.
Where are you located? On Wednesdays we are at the ASI pavilion in Bellaire, Meijer in Williamsburg, the Grand Traverse Commons, Rotary Park in Elk Rapids, plus deliveries. On Fridays we are at the Farmers Market in Bellaire and deliver within the map area tinted white. Other than these pickup locations we do not have a physical store, so please use our pre-order online store.
Do you offer delivery? Yes, within our map area, see schedule page. Choose home delivery during checkout.
Can I pay in some fashion other than credit card? Right now contactless payments are our preferred method, but please call or text us at 231.676.3186 and we can make arrangements.
Where do I pickup my order? We have five pickup points currently. One in Bellaire at the ASI pavilion, 312 Thayer Lane, on Wednesdays 1:30-2pm. One in Williamsburg at Meijer, 4900 E M-72, from 3:00-3:15 on Wednesdays. One in Bellaire at the ASI Community Center 102 Maple St, on Fridays from 9-12.
What if I placed an order for Friday but meant to order for Wednesday, or vice versa? Please contact us at 231.676.3186, we are here to help!
Where do I choose my pickup day? It's the first thing you do to shop in our store. If multiple order cycles are open it is a red pull down menu in the top right corner. If it's blue there is just the one cycle open then, or you've already chosen the day. At checkout is where you choose the actual location of your pickup or choose delivery.
What if I chose the wrong pickup location? Contact us, we are here to help! 231.676.3186
