Produce Plus Direct

For Customers Receiving Produce Delivery

 We’re looking forward to providing you with fresh, no-cost produce through the summer, and wanted to provide you with some important information about how you can pick up your produce during the season. 

Beginning Wednesday, July 15, you will begin receiving produce deliveries from us. We have partnered with Rich Capital Concepts/ VeggieCity to deliver the produce boxes to you. These produce boxes will continue each week through the end of September.

Your produce box will be sourced from Franklin Sustainable Farms and will consist of approximately 6 different items per week along with 1 additional item from Common Good City Farm. If you have any questions regarding the produce, feel free to reach out at any time with questions. 

 Please see below for details about your pickup this summer:

○      Delivery Time Frame: Wednesdays 2:30 - 6:30 pm

 As a reminder, if you need to have someone else accept a delivery of produce for Produce Plus Direct, you will need to ask that person to just give YOUR name. We will not be collecting a list of proxy names this season.
