PRODUCE SEASON IS APPROACHING
FALL into SAVINGS! Sign up for a Pantry Plan

Want more selection and variety in our Farm Store… and a discount on your Homegrown purchases?
Pantry Plan is a pre-purchase program that pays you back with real grocery savings!
Just like the Community Supported Agriculture farm business model, your Pantry Plan investment provides Homegrown Co-op with operational revenues NOW to invest in new infrastructure and inventory stock that will increase your locavore options. Your Pantry Plan investment helps ensure a prosperous and sustainable season for the Co-op and our growing network of local producers. To thank you for this pre-season investment in local food futures, the Co-op applies extra credit into your account that can be used throughout the season for local food purchases.
Even better than a traditional CSA Farm pre-purchase share, Pantry Plans give you more purchasing power and variety. Your Pantry Plan is good for use with our entire 50+ strong network of local family farms.
Sign up today. Help your Co-op grow,
while benefiting your bottom line.
$2,500 (receives 10% benefit)
or $5,000 (receives 15% benefit)Here is how it works:
- Members make their Pantry Plan investment choice, and deposit funds with the Co-op for the pre-purchase of their groceries.
- Your deposit total – plus an additional financial return (or “discount”) is credited to your online membership account.
For example, if you invest $5000 in a Pantry Plan,
$5750 in credit will be added to your account.
- Your Pantry Plan balance total is easily seen and managed through your account at the Co-op’s Online Farmer’s Market. Each order you place will be deducted from this account until the balance is depleted.
The portion of each initial investment needed to cover our base expenses for your grocery purchases will be set aside for the payment of your farm goods over the time of using the Plan investment. This season, the remaining balance is being invested in additional on-site refrigeration, operational infrastructure and product variety to maximize your shopping experience with the best selection possible.
Your Pantry Plan investment ensures we quickly maximize our potential in our ambitious expansion to Orange Ave, and keep building momentum toward a successful Fall and Winter produce season for the Co-op and our local farms. To participate, you must be a current member of Homegrown.
Sign up TODAY to begin receiving immediate savings and contribute immediate support to our expansion efforts as we transition into a bountiful Fall season!
