No, but it is encouraged. If you do not place an order online, you can shop, in a modified way, as a walk-up customer at our site on market days between 3-7 p.m.

1. Chances are higher that you’ll receive the products you ordered, because availability will be greater;
2. You won’t have to wait in line;
3. You can choose your preferred pick-up window;
4. If you pay with EasyPay, your onsite pick-up will be 100% contact-free! Having a designated pick-up window for online orders helps us increase safety by spreading out crowds.

The link to the ordering form can be found on our Farm Market webpage. We will also send out the link in our weekly email newsletter.

You will find easy instructions on the online form. Enter all required fields, then click on the various product categories (eg. Bakery, Frozen Desserts & Ice Cream, Weavers Way Farms produce, Household, etc) to see the products we stock. There will be an empty field next to every item; indicate here the quantity you would like to purchase. In the product description, we will specify if the product is sold by weight (i.e. lbs) or as a single unit, or bunch.

As you are writing in product quantities for items you’d like to purchase, DO NOT refresh the order form web page — your quantities are not automatically saved. if you refresh your page before the order is submitted, the quantities you entered will be erased and you will have to re-enter all fields.

After you have completed your order, please review it, then hit ‘Submit’ at the bottom of the form.

• For pick-up on TUESDAYS, the form goes live on Saturdays at 10 a.m. and closes Sundays at 11:59 p.m. (*We may close the form early if our order cap has been reached before Sunday at 11:59 p.m.)
• For pick-up on FRIDAYS, the form goes live on Wednesdays at 10 a.m. and closes Thursdays at 11:59 p.m. ( *We may close the form early if our order cap has been reached before Thursday at 11:59 p.m.)

The link to the online order form will be disabled when we have reached our order cap, and/or when the ordering window has closed. If you attempt to access the form when it is disabled, an error message will appear. You will have to wait until the form goes live again for the next market day.

You can still do a walk-up order for that market day; however, there is the possibility we will have lower inventory availability or will be out of some items. Or you can choose to wait until the online order form goes live again for the next market day. See deadlines listed above for online ordering for Tuesdays and Fridays.

Email farmmarket@weaversway.coop and we’ll do our best to accommodate changes.

Please arrive at the farm within the pick-up time slot you selected on the form. After you park, please check in with our staff greeter at the entrance to the Farm Market building and sign in on the clipboard. A staff person inside the building will gather your pre-assembled order and we will ask you to briefly enter the building to pay. If you use EasyPay as a form of payment, your order is complete and there is no need to enter the building; we will bring your bags out to you.

To help us manage crowds and promote social distancing, we encourage you to stick to your pick-up window. However, we know that not everyone has the flexibility to arrive within a small window of time. If you cannot pick up your order between 1-4 p.m., you are permitted to come between the hours of 3-7 p.m. We ask that you do not arrive earlier than the time you have selected.

As a courtesy, if you can't pick up your order before we close at 7 p.m., please call 215-843-2350, ext. 304 and leave a message, or send an email to farmmarket@weaversway.coop.

You can visit the Farm Market between the hours of 3-7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays. More information regarding walk-up orders is listed below.

It means that you are choosing to shop by selecting the items you would like to purchase from a paper order form. A market staff person will greet you at our entrance and provide you with a clipboard, order form and pen. Both our online and paper form will contain the full list of products available on that market day. If you have any questions, our outside greeter will happily assist from a safe distance. When you have completed the form, we’ll take it inside the building and start assembling your order for you.

In an effort to accommodate as many customers as we can each afternoon, our staff will move as quickly as possible. Our ability to fulfill orders depends on the size and contents of the order (i.e. if many items are selected, if we have to weigh out certain produce items, etc.). If there is a line, or if there are shoppers in front of you, there may be a longer wait time. We will fulfill orders in the order in which they were placed.

We will have a tented area set up directly to the left of the building in a small green space that will serve as a waiting area for walk-up shoppers. Folding chairs will be provided and will be spaced six feet apart. You may also choose to wait in your vehicle if you drove to our site. We ask you to adhere to social distancing rules at our site.

Once we have entered your order into the register and have bagged up your purchases, you will be asked to briefly enter the market building to pay and complete the transaction. Credit card readers and countertops will be sanitized after every transaction. If you choose to pay with EasyPay, you do not need to enter the building; we will bring out your bagged order with a printed receipt.

We will note on your packing slip why we weren’t able to fulfill any part of your order. Reasons may include: item is temporarily unavailable or out of stock; there was an issue with quality and we could not sell the product; item has sold out.

You can list substitutions in the ‘Notes & Substitutions’ field at the end of each category. You must be specific about which item you would accept as a substitution if the item you ordered is unavailable. Substitutions can only be chosen from the selection of products listed on the order form. Examples:

• If milk is something you absolutely need that day and we are sold out of what you ordered (e.g. a half gallon of whole milk from Merrymead Farm), please write in the open ‘Notes & Substitutions’ field at the end of the Refrigerated Dairy section that you would accept 2% milk from Merrymead Farm as a substitute if it is available. Please do not write in products we do not stock, such as skim milk or soy milk — refer back to our order form to see what products we normally carry.
• If leafy greens are critical to your meal planning that week and we have sold out of the kale you ordered, make a comment within the produce category’s ‘Notes & Substitutions’ field that other leafy greens that also appear on that day’s order form, such as collard greens or dandelion greens, would be acceptable.

We’ve introduced new, rigorous safety practices in all aspects of our operation: harvesting, handling, and packaging of food; frequent cleaning and handwashing; wearing face coverings, and more.

To make social distancing and crowd mitigation possible, only a limited number of staff members and trained volunteers will be permitted inside the Farm Market building; no customers will be allowed inside. Our tented waiting area will have chairs spaced six feet apart. We have a handwashing station that customers can use, and hand sanitizer and gloves will be available. Please note we do not have public bathrooms.

Yes, at this time we require you wear a face covering to minimize the risk of transmission of COVID-19 through respiratory droplets. It is imperative we keep our staff and fellow shoppers as safe as possible. Thanks for your cooperation.

We will continue to closely monitor CDC, state, and local guidelines and make changes as we are able.

The challenges we face this season are unprecedented. We anticipate adjustments to our procedures as needed, and modifications to our operations may be made with little or no prior notice. Please sign up for our weekly newsletter here for information sent right to your inbox. Additionally, changes will be communicated through the Co-op’s website, as well as eNews, eShopper, and our Facebook and Instagram pages.

Email farmmarket@weaversway.coop and we’ll do our best to respond promptly.
