This program started as an “idea” that has been reverberating through local economies in the U.S. for the past few years but hadn’t made it to the Triangle until now:
1. Get as much farm-fresh, field grown produce as possible into the local food system.
2. Make it easy, convenient and affordable.
3. Help local farmers reduce waste by having them “pick to order”.
4. Use more than one farm to provide the most variety and best quality fruits and vegetables the area has to offer.
5. Keep operating costs REALLY LOW by using neighborhood coordinators and deliverers and pass those savings on to the members.
