refund/exchange policy?

We recognize that mistakes happen, and we are happy to help. We thank everyone for understanding and patience with this new/pilot program. Vendors work hard to make and harvest your items locally, and staff put in extra effort to procure your order and verify it is correct. As of July 1st, all refunds, modifications, and exchanges for products will go through each vendor directly. Your account will have information on how to contact the vendor for inquiries.

Order modifications: Most modification sent before 11:59pm on Thurs (for Sunday pickup) can be accommodated.
Missing items: Please check your order after pickup; if an item is missing please email the vendor directly to resolve by 5pm on Sunday. Depending on the items, they can work to get you the missing items, or provide a refund within 3-5 business days.
Returns: For safety reasons, we do not accept returns or exchanged food at this time.
Forgotten Orders: Orders that are not picked up by 1pm on Sunday will be donated, without refund to customer.

How can snap customers shop?

There is no pickup fee for Food Nutrition Services customers. To reserve an order online with EBT/SNAP, WIC/Senior voucher checks, or Fresh Rx shop eligible food and/or produce vendors, but select the pay later option upon checkout. All local fruits & veggies are eligible for Double Up Foods Bucks- a buy-one-get-one free program that matches your SNAP dollars for fresh & local produce.

Why does the market charge a $5 pickup fee?

As of July 1st, there is no $5 pickup fee on all customer orders. We gratefully accept donations at the info booth. Donations help us pay for the software costs, processing/bank fees, supplies, packaging, PPE, infrastructure (like tents, barricades, and signs), and staff needed to run the market and pickup operation. Our savings, vendor fees, and some municipal/federal grants are helping fund the rest of this interim program. Every little bit helps!
