SPLG BENEFIT: Blooming Friendships

One of the best kept secrets of a membership in St. Pete Locally Grown is the camaraderie that grows between attendees of our potluck socials from one month to the next. Equally valuable, volunteering for St. Pete Locally Grown has benefits beyond the importance of serving the St. Petersburg Community. There is lots of seredipitous sharing of resources and knowledge. Entrepreneurs offer an exchange of small business practices. Health advocates connect and collaborate. College interns bring youthful ideas to our processes. Retirees & corporate professionals share expertise to improve our business. Activists bring resourceful approaches to serving our local community. All walks of life comingle for surprising results! All these interactions form bonds at some level that are important to the hearts and minds of those who participate. Just ask anyone involved “what are they getting out of this experience?” From a nice change of pace to personal satisfaction of doing a great job, each person contributes to a phenomenal blessing for all involved. If you are ready to experience new people and grow personally while serving your community, consider taking full advantage of your membership benefits at St. Pete Locally Grown.

IMPORTANT Volunteer Opportunities IMPORTANT

They are ALL important, but right now I am recruiting a volunteer for Thursday afternoon to drive OUR vehicle and pick up raw dairy goods and pastured eggs from The Dancing Goat in Oldsmar every other week around 330pm. On the way back, the driver will drop off the car at Enterprise Truck Rental in Pinellas Park around 445pm—transferring goods from car to delivery van that we will use on Friday. This adventure takes from 2.5 to 3 hours depending on traffic. The importance of filling this volunteer spot is that Nathan is fully retiring by October and will no longer be available to make this trip. Our ability to continue selling raw dairy and eggs from The Dancing Goat could be impacted if we don’t find a replacement by then. Perhaps someone who loves Pam’s raw dairy will decide that they just cannot live without it on our Market?

St. Pete Locally Grown Market in St. Pete is the hub for selling fine products of many of the Growers below needing volunteers—and all those listed on Our Growers page.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
Our Market has high standards for what it sells. Despite that—as seasons transition—the challenges of evolving weather and pesky insects can take its toll on the crops. Market Growers are being very selective about what they are willing to present to you. No, it won’t always be picture perfect (which is part of its charm) and sometimes an insect is going to evade capture! But we won’t send you anything that we wouldn’t eat ourselves. If for any reason we have goofed and you are dissatisfied, please report it to me right away so we can rectify the situation. That’s how we get better and we all benefit from that. Your satisfaction is key to our success as a resource for St. Petersburgs’ lovers of chemical-free, organically & locally grown vegetables.

SPLG’s fruit basket
Fuji apples, Medjool dates, cantaloupes, peaches, black plums & papayas. All USA grown, of course. Papayas are local!

WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST CUSTOMERS
Once you have submitted your order, if in doubt about what you owe, you can always confirm what you have been charged for by checking your account history and viewing your most current invoice. Instructions on how to do that are on our Q&A page under the question entitled Since you don’t provide an invoice with delivery, how do I know what I owe? Also, since your vegetables are picked fresh within 24 hours of delivery, they should be lasting for WEEKS in your refrigerator. When you accept delivery, please take a few minutes to inspect your order to protect your vegetables from unnecessary spoilage. Lastly, it is imperative that you understand our policy on Unclaimed Orders found on our Q&A page. When you make a purchase you are agreeing to abide by this policy.
