Are there membership fees?
To help us provide farm tours, educational programs, and to help us with our overhead costs, we ask that you pay an annual fee of $35 per household for one calendar year. Before you can order you must create an account balance with a minimum of $50.
Will I have to buy vegetables I don't want?
Unlike some co-ops, buying clubs, or CSAs where everyone gets the same box of stuff (and you don’t know what you’re getting until you get it), with Locally Grown you get to order what you want, in the quantities that you want, from the farms that you want. The weekly email lists the produce, milled products, fresh flowers, and artisan goods available that week, and you can browse the items on this website before you place your order.
How do I order?
Place your order at least 24 hours prior to coming out to the farm so we can ensure that what you want will be available. Orders can be placed here on our website. Ordering through this web site is our preferred method as it is designed to reduce the amount of time it takes us to process orders as well as provide you with detailed information about our products.
When do I pay?
Once you have set up your account you can purchase membership shares in The Market. As you order food and other farm products the value will be deducted from your account balance.
When and Where do I pick up my order?
Orders will be picked up at
East West Farm
3842 Barrett Parkway
Marietta, GA 30064
We are working on getting some other drop off locations set up. If you would like to help us with drop off points in Atlanta, Alpharetta/Roswell, Douglasville, Woodstock/Canton, Kennesaw get some friends together and let us know.
Why Support Locally Grown?
Enhance your local economy: By purchasing produce and other items from local growers you are providing stability to your local economy through the support of local businesses.
Save natural resources: Buying locally makes you an invaluable link in the process of saving resources such as fossil fuels and packaging materials. Also, we are right here in your community so the expense of transportation and delivery is kept to a minimum.
Provide learning opportunities: Locally Grown supporters provide member growers the means to help educate our community about the importance of sustainable agriculture.
Supporting a way of life: The number of small farms in the United States has decreased dramatically in the last decade. Please help us preserve an honest and worthy means of making a living.
We believe that small, diverse, family-owned farms contribute to society’s overall health.
