Additional Guidelines for Growers

Product Deadline:
Please have all your products added to the website and their quantities adjusted by 8am on Friday. I will turn the site on for the customers at Friday 12pm to allow us time to contact you if there are any questions. You can start listing products and inventory on Monday at 1pm for the next weeek, that gives you nearly 4 days to add your products to the site.

Product Names:
Please follow the Naming Products guidelines outlined in the "Adding Products" section of the OOS documents emailed to all the vendors. Look at the other products in this category to see if there is a pattern you should be following." Make sure not to be the one using bad names. Calling something "medium green" tells us nothing about what the product is, bad spelling, all lower case letters, and incorrect punctuation just look bad, and naming things any old way makes the listings unorganized and harder for the customers to find what they're looking for. Following our established naming practice requires a small bit of effort from you, but it has much larger effects on our customers and market volunteers later in the week. The core name of the item goes first, followed by a couple dashes, followed by the specific variety and other adjectives. If you are selling two sizes of the same thing, include the size in your product name. For example: "Arugula - Baby Roquette - Large Bag"

Products that do not follow our naming conventions could be removed from the market without notice! Please be your own product naming policeman, so we don't have to. :-)

Pricing:
You set all of your own prices, but the market keeps a % of your sales as a "table fee". Keep that in mind while setting your prices. Refer to the "Pricing Product" document for different tabling fees.

Delivery:
Unless we've made other arrangements with you, please deliver your orders between before 6pm on Tuesday at our warehouse location. Please have some form of invoice ready upon delivery. We currently function under a net 14 payment schedule. This means we will pay you for your delivery 14 days after we receive them to allow for payments from other customers to process.

Labels and Packaging:
It makes things so much easier for our market workers and our customers if you have your orders bagged (or packaged as appropriate) and labelled using the labels generated by this website (on your "View Open Orders" page, below).
Should your sales exceed the amount you actually have available, please fill the orders in the order they are shown. If there are orders you cannot fill, you can remove those orders from your sales on the website (on the "View Your Open Orders" page - the same page where you print labels)
