New Co-ops Forming in Greater Pinellas Point (GPP)
We’ve been fortunate that several folks have volunteered to host veggie drops at their homes in GPP which just happen to sit on opposing sides of GPP which is one of the largest neighborhoods in St. Petersburg. These two co-ops have been dubbed GPP West (startup date tbd) & GPP East (starts up on 4/18th) and they are filling a gaping hole in our chemical-free veggie distribution. We are SO grateful to these volunteers who want to support the building of a small town farming community right here in St. Pete! Please tell your friends and neighbors in GPP that St. Pete Locally Grown is now delivering to their neighborhood for just $4 per order.
Disston Heights Co-op Put On Hold
The launch date for this co-op will be revisited in the near future. Hang on! We’re coming… Meantime, customers in Disston Heights can continue to pickup in nearby neighborhoods. New customers can call Market Manager to find the most convenient spot!
WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST CUSTOMERS!
Once you have submitted your order, if in doubt about what you owe, you can always confirm what you have been charged for by checking your account history and viewing your most current invoice. Instructions on how to do that are on our Q&A page under the question entitled Since you don’t provide an invoice with delivery, how do I know what I owe? Also, since your vegetables are picked fresh within 24 hours of delivery, they should be lasting for WEEKS in your refrigerator. When you accept delivery, please take a few minutes to inspect your order to protect your vegetables from unnecessary spoilage. Lastly, it is imperative that you understand our policy on Unclaimed Orders found on our Q&A page. When you make a purchase you are agreeing to abide by this policy.
