How does it work?
Step 1: Subscribe for a weekly delivery
Papa Spud's operates on a weekly subscription basis. We offer two packages, a smaller box called the
Weekly Sampler ($22.99) and a larger box called the
Family Sampler ($40.99). Both boxes are delivered directly to your door, and feature a customizable assortment of seasonal local and/or organic products. Subscriptions are for a weekly delivery, but we are happy to place holds on delivery/payments for any weeks that you are out of town, too busy to cook, etc.
Step 2: Local and organic growers post their product availabilities
We work with an ever expanding group of local and/or organic growers who communicate their weekly harvests to us, and we in turn offer those products to our customers. These items are posted to our website on Friday evening, and remain available until Monday at 12pm.
Step 3: Customize your delivery
After receiving weekly availabilities from our farmers on Friday, we put together a "proposed list of featured selections" for each of our boxes. We email this information to each of our members. Our members then decide to either proceed with the "proposed selection" (in which case nothing more needs to be done), or to log-in to their personal userpage and customize their upcoming delivery in our
online market. Our market system currently offers between 10-16 different items to choose from with flexible quantities.
Step 4: Sit back and enjoy!
After your delivery has been submitted, there is nothing more you need to do! Just sit back and relax, Papa Spud's communicate your order to the farmers, they will harvest your selections as close to your delivery date as possible, and Papa Spud's will package everything up and deliver it to your front door! It's a very efficient and sustainable system of distribution, that reduces waste and fossil fuel consumption - while maintaining a higher quality product.
