3. Membership:
In order
to become a member of the Doorstep Market you must be willing to pick up your
box at your nearest neighborhood
location. Click
here to register for your neighborhood location (no obligation
until you place your first order). Smith's Nursery is always willing to add new neighborhood locations. In order to register your
neighborhood as a pick up location we require the following:
a.
Neighborhood Coordinator - One to two people who will make a commitment to be at the designated location each
week during the pick up hours. 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 neighborhood members and Smith's
Nursery each week. Neighborhood Coordinators will receive
a free produce box.
b. Neighborhood Location - This can be a home or
garage, neighborhood clubhouse, cul-de-sac, place of business, or any other location
approved by a Homeowner's Association or Smith's Nursery.
c.
Neighborhood Members - Before a neighborhood can be
registered as a pick up location a commitment and deposit
must be received by at least 15 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.

Delivery:
Boxes
will be delivered to your designated
neighborhood location each week for pickup. Boxes may be picked up at your
neighborhood location during the allotted times. Members
should return all empty boxes and containers from the previous week. Click

5. Policies:
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 or just don't
need more produce, just don't fill out the order form.
When you are ready to place another order simply email your
neighborhood coordinator and place a new order. 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.
