Everyday Local Eating, Made Easy with Philly Foodworks Online Farmers Market.
SHOPPING LOCAL MATTERS. It supports farmers and the local economy, and it’s better for the environment. Plus, eating with the seasons tastes better, too. But getting your shopping logistics in line with your values can be hard.
The farmers market is only open one day a week, and that often clashes with your schedule. A CSA subscription is great, but you don’t know what to do with more zucchini again this week. Even when you can visit the farmers market, you usually have to hit another store to get a few basics you need to turn what you bought into meals for the week.
Enter Philly Foodworks. It’s all your favorite top-quality, in-season, local produce from the farmer to you. You choose what you want, as much as you want, the way you want it.
Here are the top 8 ways Philly Foodworks makes it easy to eat local:
1 EASY ONLINE ORDERING.
You can do your grocery shopping on your phone during your train commute or on your laptop while you are on a break from work. Start your order when the market opens Friday morning and keep adding items until the day before your delivery the following week.
2 THE RESEARCH IS DONE FOR YOU.
It can be so hard to find trustworthy brands and products. You don’t have to climb down the internet research rabbit hole to find out all the details about your favorite items—unless you want to. Philly Food-works has vetted each purveyor and farmer to ensure high ethical standards are being met. But if you want to do your own deep dive, the profiles of each purveyor are right there on the website.
3 ONE-STOP SHOP.
The star of the show is the top-quality in-season produce grown by the Philly Foodworks network of local farms. But you’ll also find plenty of ethically sourced grocery staples to round out your meals. Think lemons, olive oil, rice, pasta, sauces, canned tomatoes, and more.
4 CUSTOMIZE EACH ORDER.
You can choose what you want from the 500+ seasonal grocery items available each week. If someone in your house doesn’t like kohlrabi, you never have to try it again.
5 SET IT AND FORGET IT.
If you prefer, you can order a weekly box curated by local food experts with the best of what’s in season and everything you need to make it a meal.
6 DELIVERY OR PICKUP: YOU DECIDE.
You choose whether your weekly order is dropped at your doorstep or left at one of many convenient pickup locations across the region.
7 CUT PACKAGING WASTE.
Most grocery orders arrive with a lot of unnecessary packaging, like disposable ice packs and single-use plastics. Philly Food-works’ commitment to sustainability extends to packing boxes thoughtfully. All containers can be returned for reuse. Even the clamshells that protect delicate greens are sanitized and used again.
8 THE FLEXIBILITY YOU NEED.
It’s easy to skip a delivery for as many weeks as you want. If there’s nothing in your cart, you won’t have to deal with a surprise box of food spoiling on your porch while you’re on vacation.
