Please Preorder by 7pm Thursday (tonight!)

Some shoppers have asked if one can arrive at the Market on 12/5 as a walk-up shopper without having preordered.

The answer is "yes", albeit with these caveats:

• Growers with apples and greens have chosen to be preorder-only to protect their inventory (which would freeze if displayed). Whatever you preorder they will deliver.
• Some items will be available for walk up purchases (ie: honey, jams, meats, baked goods) -- but knowing you'll get what you want is touch and go. Vendors are only required to offer their full options online in winter.
• If you preorder it is easier for vendors as they know what to bring to market, guaranteeing you get what you're seeking.
• Given the harsh conditions in winter the overriding goal is brevity of service (which preordering accomplishes). We're trying to help shoppers AND vendors get in and get out quickly on Saturdays. Therefore, walk up shoppers should be aware that preorder customers are served first as part of the goal to move as many shoppers through the marketplace within reduced hours.

This Saturday's weather is expected to be 41° and rainy. Not conditions for chewing the fat with neighbors and vendors at the Market! Those are exactly the conditions that our preorder system was designed to manage well. And to make things convenient we've reduced the pickup fee applied to your order total to $2.00 all winter.

For all the reasons above we hope you will click this link and register to use Pleasantville Farmers Market Online (PFM-O) -- it is open until 7:00pm this evening. Preorder from the comfort of your home now so you can easily dash in and out of the Market on cold mornings while getting the foods you love.
