Eat Local Virtual Farm Stand

Welcome to the future home of Abundant Life’s Eat Local Virtual Farm Stand. This venture will launch approximately September 1st 2008 .You can place yourself on a list, either the Farmer List if you are a Farmer or on the Do You Eat List if you are an eater.This website will act as a connector between the Farmer and the Eater and visa versa.

First things first, read below and find out about The Program and then you should sign up on the correct list if you are interested in The Program.

Simple Enough, Right?

The Program

Once a week, on Sunday, the farmers will fax to Abundant Life their offerings. By midnight on Sunday Abundant Life will make those offerings available for sale on the Eat Local Virtual Farm Stand (click here to see what we expect to offer and when Attach:offering.doc). All orders will be based on a delivery to a Designated Drop Off Point.

What is a Designated Drop Off Point?

A Designated Drop Off Point is a location that has a minimum of 10 orders, $50 each. Designated Drop Off Points could be private homes, business locations, a church, a preschool…..or pretty much anywhere, anyone who eats gathers, lives or plays.

What is the Benefit of becoming a Designated Drop Off Point?

The benefit of becoming a Designated Drop Off Point is that your order will always include a 15% discount.

What is the responsibility of a Designated Drop Off Point?

If you are interested in bringing The Program into your community then Abundant Life will need you to spread the word so that you can locate other individuals like yourself that want to buy their food from local Farmers.When you have 10 orders, $50 each, Abundant Life will create a new Designated Drop Off Point. Other than that the Designated Drop Off Point will have to be made available, every time a delivery is scheduled, (depending on the number of orders) for 15 minutes to 3 hours.

Outside of freshness are there any other benefits that ride along with The Program?

By eating as much as we can within a 100 mile radius we are able to reduce our carbon footprint by close to 40%.

Now that’s a number!

At the same time we are putting our money where our mouth is and where it needs to go, right back into our local farming economy. The folks not the mega corporations that are growing your food.

Okay, I’m interested….What Do I Do Next?

If you are an Eater that wants to connect to the farmer that is growing your food then go to the Do You Eat List and fill out the information requested. We are currently in the process of creating Designated Drop Off Points and upon commencement of The Program, we will service the following areas:

New York City (NY), Orange County (NY)

Bergen County (NJ), Middlesex County (NJ).

If you are a Farmer wanting to connect to the individuals that want to consume the food that you are growing, then go to the Farmer List and fill out the information requested. We are currently in the process of setting out different routes for the efficient movement of food from field to the table.
