| DigIN on the Farm is proud to manage ONLINE FARMERS' MARKETS for northwestern New Jersey Farmers. All of our markets are GROWERS ONLY Markets, meaning that the farmers can only sell what they grow. There are provisions for farmer vendors to represent other local farms in a mutually beneficial relationship, offering our customers even more product ALL local, and all direct. All products are marked clearly with FARM OF ORIGIN. We are always looking to develop new markets for local communities. |
| www.blairstown.locallygrown.net Order local food online, and pickup at our Blairstown, Andover or - soon- Chester? location! on the designated day/time. |
Easy! Just like a regular market, vendors pay a fee for a booth. At our market, fees are based on SALES ONLY, so if you don't sell, you don't pay anything. This way, DigIN on the Farm's online market is risk-free for farmers. It also is risk-free for customers, as each registered user is allowed to try our online market for TWO TRIAL ORDERS before paying the annual $10.00/year fee to continue to use the service. Then, continue ordering AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE, as OFTEN or as INFREQUENTLY as you like. You order from the comfort of your home, anytime during our "OPEN SHOP" hours. We are open for a minimum of 36 hours each order cycle. We have a predetermined pickup date and time- Our North Warren market's currrent pickup is Fridays, at Race Farm's Route 94 stand, in Blairstown, from 4: 30-6:30pm. Your order is ready and waiting for you! ONE STOP SHOPPING from local farmers, bakers dedicated to local food use, and artisans using natural farm products. CURRENT VENDORS: LL Pittenger Farm all- natural meats; Race Farms produce, Best's Fruit Farm apples and cider, The Cupcake Factory gourmet baked goods, Flower Creek Farms jams and jellies, and all natural produce, Kimballs Farm all-natural produce and TRIPLE CREEK FARM AND NURSERY potted perennials, evergreens, spring flower flats and MORE! All of our growers are from the immediate area surrounding the pickup location. We are developing a Chester pickup site and hope to have it up and running by May! We need a "critical mass" of registered customers to do so. Register today UNTIL THEN, try us in Blairstown. It's worth the trip! Then, continue ordering AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE, as OFTEN or as INFREQUENTLY as you like, for only $10.00/year per family! |

| Testimonials from registered users: March 2009: The online market works great because of the convenience and variety that you will not get at just one outdoor farm stand. It saves gas & time as well as effort. I will still be using this service in the summer months & are grateful for all of your efforts- June We are often crazy on weekends and I have decided to remain a customer of yours rather than renew at a community supported garden, because it gives me more freedom of choice- Danielle I would say that I would continue to use the online service even ‘in-season’ when the other markets open for the variety of products offered (meats,coffee, etc.) and to continue supporting local business in my area. Having such a great assortment of products allows me to shop on line as well as locally at the markets because of the variety of items I would purchase on a regular basis. Thanks for asking and for creating a fantastic resource for those of us who choose to ‘buy fresh, buy local’.- Denise Convenience is the most beneficial- its easier to fit in time in the day to go on the computer for 10 min then drive a bunch of places. Also things you would have to hear about through the grapevine, such as a specific kind of meat being at this or that farm, you can find out about with ease on the website. Also a lot of farmers markets are open at different times, so you have to make multiple trips to get everything, this is only one trip, which makes it easier to eat local all the time, rather then just when you manage to get to all the farms you need for all your ingredients or courses.- Jenna It’s easy to make the order and then you’re committed, whereas a trip to the farm stand may get crowded out by other plans.We probably will use DigIN during growing season. - Scott |
