- Last names O – Z 5:30 pm — 6:30 pm

Want to change your pickup time? The purpose of the time slots is to try to achieve an even flow so nobody has to wait too long. But we want this to be convenient for you: if you need to change your time slot or location, please text 912.481.2263, tell us the ORDER NAME and the TIME you would like to pick up. We will even assign you some “bonus time” if you need to come after 6:30. Just let us know so we can make sure your order is in the right place at the right time. Please do NOT come before 3:30 as this creates a traffic backup.
Remember! When you head out to your pickup location, be sure to take a mask, a placard with your order name(s), and appropriate containers for your food.
THE DRIVE-THROUGH PROCEDURE in Statesboro.
- Drive to the right (counter clockwise) all the way around the SCVB, keeping to the outer perimeter and maintaining a tight queue. A volunteer will check you in as you come around the far side of the building.
- Please display the name(s) for your order(s) on a windshield placard to assist in quick and safe check-in.
- Please wear a mask while communicating with market staff.
- Provide access to your vehicle and to the containers you want loaded (bags, boxes, bins or coolers); unlock the back door or the trunk, with containers inside.
- We recommend that you bring a cooler for transporting meat, dairy and perishable items. Ice cream melts, even in a short car trip, and our fresh non-homogenized milk is temperature sensitive.
- Wait in your car for the runner to come out with your order and load into your containers. Make sure your name placard is visible.
- If you did not prepay on line with a debit or credit card, please make a check for exact amount when your order is delivered. (You may pay cash in exact amount, but any “change” from cash received will be credited to your account. Use an envelope to label the cash payment with your order name.)

We have quite a lot of announcements here at Market2Go this week! First off, we have three new vendors this week:
Terra Dolce Farms is offering both their local extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Terra Dolce Farms has been growing olive trees for 10 years, the olives grow throughout summer and are then harvested and pressed in the fall.
Uncle Shug’s is now on Market2Go and their Ol’ Timey BBQ Sauce is now available for purchase. Wwe’re sure it would pair well with the beef, chicken, and pork offered by our meat vendors!
And finally, we’d like to welcome Ebenezer Greens, who has several healthy and flavorful microgreen mixes to choose from.
In other news, E.L.F.’s Kitchen now has both plain and everything bagels for sale, and spaghetti squash is available from Jacobs Produce.
Be sure to check out the recipe section on Market2Go if you’re looking for some culinary inspiration!
Thank you for supporting your local farmers and vendors!
Olive Oil!
Just added – Georgia grown extra virgin olive oil from Terra Dolce Farms, a small farm near Lyons, Georgia. They have been growing a selection of olive trees for 10 years, and in 2014, their olive oil won a Gold Medal from the New York International Olive Oil Competition.
