Preorder Buying Club
Order just what you want.
An online "farm stand" to help you get organic veggies straight from the farm year-round.
If you love garden fresh taste more than anything, but don’t quite have the time or space to do it all yourself, we can help.
Join our Preorder email list for organic vegetables harvested just for you direct from our family farm. Order a little or a lot, often or not, and connect with us when you pick up your custom order.
Lighten your load by letting us do a little gardening for you—just the way you would!
Ripley Farm's Veggie Preordering System
How it works
On Saturdays we send a current list of what you can order. Open the link and decide what you want.
Fill out the form with what you want by the end of Sunday.
We'll have your order ready for you on Wednesday on the farm between 2-6pm. Pay by cash or check.
Frequently Asked Questions about preordering:
- Do I have to be a CSA member or anything special to order veggies from you?
Nope! The veggie preordering is open to everyone and you DON'T have to be a CSA member to place an order. In fact, ordering veggies is a great, low-risk way to try our produce and see how you like it!
- Is there a minimum order?
No, there is no minimum order size. You can order as little as you need.
- Do I have to order every week?
No, you can order whenever works for you to come pick it up! No commitment necessary.
- How does the pickup work?
When you come to the farm on your chosen Wednesday pickup date after placing your order, we'll have your veggies all packaged up with an invoice ready for you to 'grab and go'. You can pay by cash or check. It is as easy and fast as a drive-thru pickup, but with local goodies from your farmers!
- Where can I pickup my preorder?
At this time, we are only offering veggie preorders pickups on the farm in Dover-Foxcroft. That being said, there may be plans in the future to be able to delivery them to a Bangor drop off site, so if you're interested, join our email list and stay tuned.
- Do you sell bulk items like tomatoes, beans, potatoes, etc for canning, freezing, fermenting, and/or winter storage?
Yes, and this is the list to be on to be notified about when we have surplus. We may list a price for small quantities and then a separate price for larger bulk quantities as available.
- How do I get the list?
We send an updated list via email on a regular schedule, always on Saturdays. Between July and October, it comes out every Saturday. Between November-June, it comes out twice a month. The way to get the availability emails is to sign up below, and you will be sent the next available list.
- What are the order pick up dates?
They are always on Wednesdays and are the same as the Summer, Winter, and Spring CSA distribution dates. Click here to find out the current dates.
- Do I have to do anything to stay on the list for the new upcoming season (i.e. Spring, Summer, or Winter)?
Nope! You're automatically on the list to receive the preorder availability emails when you subscribe to the list. As long as you don't "unsubscribe" you'll continue to receive the emails from us on the regular schedule year-round.
- I tried to order and the link said "You are not authorized to access this page." What is wrong?
We have a deadline for orders of Sunday night at 11:59pm. So the link to the availability is active between Saturday at 12:01am and Sunday night at 11:59pm. After Sunday at midnight the link is deactivated and we are no longer able to accept orders.
- Have a question you don't see answered here?
