3. Membership:
In order
to become a member of the Doorstep Market you must be willing to pick up your
box at your nearest pick up
location. Click
here to register for your nearest location (no obligation
until you place your first order). Smith's Nursery is always willing to add new locations. In order to register your
neighborhood or business as a pick up location we require the following:
a.
Coordinator - One to two people who will make a commitment to
communicate with members and be at the designated location each
week during the pick up hours (if needed). Coordinators should
provide a cool, clean place for the produce boxes to be kept during
the pick up hours. Coordinators must be willing to
openly communicate between their location members and Smith's
Nursery each week. Coordinators may also be eligible for a
discounted Doorstep Market box.
b. Location - This can be a home or
garage, neighborhood clubhouse, cul-de-sac, place of business,
church or any other location
approved by a Homeowner's Association, business or Smith's Nursery.
c.
Members - Before a neighborhood or business can be
registered as a pick up location, a commitment and deposit
must be received by at least 10 new members.
Once you have met these requirements you may contact the Doorstep
Market Coordinator at doorstepmarket@upickberries.com or (919) 934-1700 to register your location.

Boxes
will be delivered to your designated
location each week for pickup. Boxes may be picked up at your

5. Policies:
Empty boxes, bottles and containers should be returned each week. Members will receive weekly emails that include farm updates, a link
to the order form and reminders of the weekly pickup
time and locations. If you decide to skip a week, no problem,
when you are ready to place another order simply click on the form
and place a new order. New order forms are created and sent
each Monday and are active until 8:00 AM the following Monday.
You must allow at least 3 days for processing and harvesting.
Late orders may not be processed. If you have ordered a box but are unable to pick up your produce during
the designated time, please have a neighbor or friend pick up the
order for you. Customers are responsible for payment of all
confirmed orders if not picked up.
