Vendor Registration
What we are about
We have had an overwhelming response this year for farmer applications and small businesses! Very exciting as we want to extend this service across Alberta in support of small businesses reaching potential customers. As many farmers will know, it is not easy for customers to go to every farmer to buy their food… so we see this as a solution.
The Registration Process
Below we have a link for you to send us an email. Once it is sent you will receive an auto-responder email and in it will give you further information, about the customers who order from you, the type of products you have and some info regarding how it works.
Our Community
We are a volunteer based organization. The people who come out to deliver your products, hand out flyers, sort, and many other things, are passionate about creating a farm to table network. As the customer base grows the organization that will become self-sufficient. We mention the volunteers because we want you to know how many people TRULY want you as options for local products!
General Information
- It is your store and you list your products.
- We charge 20% on what you sell.
- Currently we deliver every 2 weeks though that will most likely change to weekly some time next year.
- We pay you on the Weekend after the Wednesday delivery.
We have a 2 week cycle. Orders are collected for 2 weeks, with Sunday at 6pm being the cut off. We will send a complete list of orders to vendors Sunday evening (you will receive the individual orders as they are placed automatically). We need to get those items from you either Tuesday or Wednesday (depending on your location). The items are put together in orders and delivered Wednesday or Thursday again depending on location.
