Farm to Go FAQS

Order organic produce, prepared meals, and all types of grocery items from great local vendors through Wright-Locke Farm! In an effort to provide good, local food to our community in a safe and responsible way, we’ve taken our Farm Stand online.

• Once you have an account in our online system, each week you can log in and see what’s available for Farm to Go.
• We’ll send out weekly updates and reminders of order windows in our Farm newsletter. 
• Shop for good, local food! Order as much or as little as you need for that week ($10 minimum).
• Confirm your cart before orders close for your market day.
  
• Pickup your order via our safe and contactless pickup systems and enjoy!
  
• Payments will be processed after pickup.

We have a wide variety of local products and produce:

• Fresh: veggies, fruit (in season), breads, bagels, baked treats, milk, cheese, yogurts & krauts
• Frozen: soups, seafood, pasture-raised meats, fruits, butter, ice cream
• Gift items: chocolate, gift cards, sea salts, wreaths
• Pantry: pasta, beans, spices, chocolate, cookies, coffee, teas, honey, maple syrup, seed butter, salsa, sriracha
• Prepared Meals from Essex Catering

Note: Different items are available through different distribution locations because of harvest, staffing, and catering schedules. Grocery items are only available for On-farm pickup as we cannot sell non-farm items at our farmers’ market locations.

• You will only see the items available for the pickup day/location you’ve selected in your profile. 
• Want to see what’s available on another day? Go to “account information” and change your default “customer distribution location” to the pickup that you want, and start shopping for that day. 
• Vegetables are available at all pickup locations; Essex prepared meals, grocery and pantry items are only available at the Farm Stand.

We post fresh vegetable and fruit availability as follows:

• Tuesday pickups will list availability starting on Sunday
• Thursday pickups will list availability starting on Monday
• Saturday pickups will list availability starting on Monday

• Weekly Schedule:

We ask that anyone coming on to the farm wear a mask and observe safe distancing practices.
