    Will You Help?

    We are now building a neighborhood co-op in Disston Heights to which we can deliver a group of customers’ orders on a weekly basis. Do you know someone who could benefit from picking up in the vicinity of 39th & 39th in St. Petersburg? We have also recently launched three veggie pickup spots in Historic Uptown, Euclid Heights, and Euclid-St. Pauls Neighborhoods. Gracious folks from all these neighborhoods are offering space for their neighbors to leave coolers for Friday deliveries. Just tell new customers to submit a comment to the Market Manager on their first order asking for a delivery to Disston Heights. We’ll take it from there! Thanks for your continued support to build these drop spots & neighborhood cohesion, increase our efficiency, and save fossil fuel on Fridays.

    WE RECYCLE
    We need STURDY egg cartons, plastic, cardboard and sturdy (not thin) styrofoam. We are willing to get them back to our egg Growers. Big need for these! Best to drop them on the front stoop of our home if you know where we live. But if you want to leave them for us with your weekly coolers that’s ok too.

    MEAT PRODUCTS
    Salmon will return to Market next week!

    LOOKING FOR A CO-OP PICKUP NEAR YOU?
    Check out SPLG’s current list of drop spots on our Q&A page. Not finding a good match? Call Market Manager at 727-515-9469. We can usually find a win-win solution.

    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.
