What is the Awesome Organic
Club?
The Awesome Organic
Club of Wellington, Florida was
formed to bring consistently
fresh, superior quality,
certified Organic produce to
our Palm Beach County
neighbors at reasonable
prices. We achieve these
saving by using the combined
purchasing power of all the
members.
Our members receive mixed
variety of organic
vegetables and fruits,
varying according
to market, and seasonal availability.
Members receive an equal
share of what is
ordered for that week. We
purchase as much as we can from
local sources in order to support
our local
Florida farmers. As much as
possible purchases will be
made from organic farmers within the
United States to support US
Organic Farmers. All
our produce is certified
through Quality Assurance
International, they have
been
providing
the highest level of organic
certification services
since 1989. Our produce providers are very
selective in purchasing only
items that come from
sustainable farms that are
socially responsible.
We
are
always working to
improve the products and
selection we
carry.
What's the cost?
A
typical vegetable and fruit share
costs each member
$50.00 each delivery date.
Best of all there are no
membership or start-up fees.
How do I
get started?
Go
to the
Join the Club page and fill
out the information
requested there and someone
will contact you. If a group
has an opening in your area
we will add you there or you
will be placed on a waiting
list if there are no
immediate openings convenient
for you. How often
do I receive a
delivery?
Deliveries are every other
Monday. How much produce do I actually receive?
Each member receives
somewhere between 25-35 lbs
of fresh,
certified organic fruits and
vegetables per delivery. The amounts vary
according to market, season
and availability and the
shares are always split
equally. A typical listing may
be viewed on the
About the Club
Page. How do I get my
order?
You can
arrange a convenient time to pick it up
here in Wellington. We will do our best
to work around your
schedule. At
that time you would give us
your empty totes (we provide
them), and
pre pay for the next delivery.
What if I will be out of town on my
scheduled delivery day?
You would need to find
someone to pick up your
produce share for you if you
are unable to come pick up
during regular pick up
times. If you will be away
for more than one pick up
date you will need to find
someone to buy your share.
You will
need to let your host know
of your plans in advance.
What if I
want extra produce?
Let us know 3 or 4
days prior to your next
delivery date to have
those extra items delivered
along with your next
delivery. What if I
want extra fruit?
You can order extra
fruit shares at an
additional charge, however
we need at least five
members per
group to participate. What if it's too much produce for me?
If you can find someone
to split your share with you
that would be ideal.
However, we will do our best
to help you find a partner
to share with if necessary.
Are there any other products are available?
We are constantly seeking
new avenues to get superior
quality organic and
non-toxic products at fair
prices for our members.
Please go to the
Specialty
Items section to see what we
have for you at present. What if I don't like it?
We suggest that you try
just three times before
making your decision and
we ask that you give your
host at least two
weeks notice to allow them
time to fill your spot. |
