unicornduke Farmer's market order pickups are great
So, when everything shut down, the big local farmer's market set up an online ordering system since their market couldn't open indoors. They eventually opened outdoors and are now indoors but they kept the ordering system. Once they moved indoors, I didn't feel like it was super safe to go (it's in an old grocery store but there's a lot of vendors and people going. like I get it, but aaaaaaaaaa no thank you)
I started doing the order pickup and as it turns out, it's much more convenient than the normal market location or the new indoor location. It's closer to me and I don't need to cross the river, so it's maybe 7 or 8 minute drive.
I drive up, they ask my name, then get my order and drop it in my truck window. It's awesome. There's a $5 fee to cover the packing but honestly, I'll pay that. There's also less options for what we can get from vendors but I can get my dairy products which is the most important part.
Orders need to be in by thursday nights for a sunday pickup but I usually try and get it in by Wednesday
Things I remembered I ordered: milk, ricotta, basil, cheese curds
Things I didn't remember I ordered and was delighted to have in the box: burrata, carrots and chocolate milk
gifts from past me!

I am hoping both grocery stores I use keep up the delivery services in the happy future because having groceries appear on the porch is an improvement.
