Here are some frequently asked questions:

And here are some answers:

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?


Each Sunday evening, a list of available products is sent to all of our registered customers by e-mail. Customers must place their order for the week no later than Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. Orders can be placed here on our website. The farmers/bakers then prepare your order and we compile them for your pickup at Rehoboth Homstead.

When do I pay?


We accept cash or checks when you pick up your order. Because we may have to adjust your total then (to account for unnanounced items you decide to purchase or items that were unexpectedly unavailable), we suggest you wait until pickup to write the check. You may also pay from your smartphone using Square Cash ($bspa). And you may put funds “on account”, putting down $100 or more and drawing against it.

When and Where do I pick up my order?


You may pick up your orders on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday at Rehoboth Homestead, 66 Jabez Allen Road, in Peru. If you are picking up Sunday or Monday, please tell us in the comment box so we can keep your things in our cooler or freezer until the day you pick up.

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.
