Will I have to buy vegetables I don't want?
With Gallup Locally Grown you get to order what you want, in the quantities that you want, from the farms that you want. The weekly email lists local goods available that week, and you can browse the items on this website before you place your order.
How do I order?
Weekly, a list of available products is sent to all of our registered customers by e-mail. Customers must place their order for the week no later than an appointed time. Orders can be placed here on our website. Ordering through this web site is our preferred method as it is designed to reduce the amount of time it takes us to process orders as well as provide you with detailed information about our products.
When do I pay?
We accept cash or checks when you pick up your order.
Or, we are now offering payment on the site.

Why Support Locally Grown?
Enhance your local economy: By purchasing produce and other items from local growers you are providing stability to your local economy through the support of local businesses.
Save natural resources: Buying locally makes you an invaluable link in the process of saving resources such as fossil fuels and packaging materials. Also, we are right here in your community so the expense of transportation and delivery is kept to a minimum.
Provide learning opportunities: Locally Grown supporters provide member growers the means to help educate our community about the importance of sustainable agriculture.
Supporting a way of life: The number of small farms in the United States has decreased dramatically in the last decade. Please help us preserve an honest and worthy means of making a living.
We believe that small, diverse, family-owned farms contribute to society’s overall health.
