How do I order?


Orders may be placed by clicking on The Market at this site or by responding directly to the e-mail reminders we will send you at ordering time each week.

After signing in, simply click on items in the store that you wish to purchase and put them in your cart. We will have your items assembled and labeled and an invoice will be ready when you arrive to pick up your order.You may still add “impulse” purchases at the Farmers Market when you get there.

If you place an order for custom cut half or whole animals, we will contact you by email when your order is ready to pick up.

When do I pay?


We accept cash or checks when you pick up your order. Because we may have to adjust your total then (to account for unnanounced items you decide to purchase or items that were unexpectedly unavailable), we do not accept advance payment on the website. Checks are made out to Berea College Agriculture.
