Shop goMarket tonight through Tuesday!


This post expired on May 19, 2023.

Hey everyone!
Tonight’s “newsletter” will be short. I’m packing for an open source e-commerce conference in DC that could help change the face of goMarket! I’m going to represent a new project called the Open Food Web Foundation, which is an open source software non-profit in Australia: link. We’re working hard to develop a platform that would support a complex food system (like ours in the Triangle) where urban and rural farmers have a large diversity of markets to serve. Ideally this system will help support ordering kiosks and help connect with low-income communities, supporting a new, more just food system.

In terms of market news, Berenbaum’s is our newest vendor, and we’re really excited to offer some of their Jewish and Vegan specialties. They’re a really awesome organization with “pay what you can” pricing that I think is an awesome model for supporting food justice in Durham. Check out their website here. This week they are offering a savory mini-meal/snack pie that’d be great with a side of kale from Homegrown City Farm or spinach from Wild Dog farm.

Also, we’re offering a discount on annual memberships for $25 until the 25th of May, (here) which happens to be the same day as the Doughman, which Berenbaums and I will both be tabling in some capacity.

Market instructions:

A couple users had some confusion ordering from the market, so here’s a set of mini instructions that I hope will help anyone that’s had troule:

Sign into the market here and shop the market here and don’t be afraid to contact me with questions or concerns.

After you place your order you’ll get a confirmation email. Items can be picked up between 4:30 and 6:30 at Locopops in Old West Durham.
