Market2Go Pickup!
Market2Go pickup in Statesboro is now at the Statesboro Convention and Visitors Bureau (SCVB) at 222 South Main Street. All pickups are on Thursday. Pickup times have recently changed for Statesboro and Sylvania, so please read carefully.
STATESBORO – THURSDAY Drive Through at SCVB starts at 3:30.
- Last names A – F 3:30 pm — 4:30 pm
- Last names G – N 4:30 pm — 5:30 pm
- Last names O – Z 5:30 pm — 6:30 pm
SYLVANIA – THURSDAY Pickup at Victory Gardens General Store
All Sylvania customers 4:00 pm — 5:00 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.)
PICKUP for SYLVANIA CUSTOMERS.
Pickup is across the street from the Victory Gardens General Store. Please remain in your car until volunteers bring your order, and wear a mask when interacting with volunteers. We recommend that you bring a cooler for transporting meat, dairy and perishable items.
HOME DELIVERY CUSTOMERS.
Orders will be delivered between 2:30 and 5:00 by Boro Takeout. You will receive a notice when your driver is on the way. We recommend you leave a cooler at the front door (or your designated delivery location) to facilitate no-contact delivery and to keep perishable food safe.
EBT CUSTOMERS.
Right now we can scan EBT/SNAP cards only at the Statesboro pickup location. So, if you have ordered online with the intent to pay with your EBT card, you’ll need to come to the Statesboro Drive Through at the Convention and Visitors Bureau between 3:30 and 6:30. Email or text us in advance so we can calculate your bonus dollars and the amount to be charged to your card.
Order Before Midnight!
There are a few important product announcements here at Market2Go this week!
First off, this is likely the last week that corn will be available. Try some of these Corn Recipes before it’s gone!
Next up, 4 & 20 Bakers is now offering several new delicious Take & Bakers meals, available in different serving sizes.

THE MARKET IS OPEN!
Many of you have expressed appreciation for the Market2Go as a safe place to buy good food and support our local farmers. Some of you have asked how you can contribute to the market, wanting to offer a “tip” for services or a significant donation to help sustain this community-based effort. In response to your requests, we have created a “Market Contributions” category on the Market2Go website that includes a range of market donations, from $5 to $100. To make a contribution, just add one of the donation “items” to your shopping basket, and that amount will be included in your total at checkout. Please know that we appreciate your weekly orders as a way of supporting the market and our vendors. There is no obligation or expectation for further contributions, but we are grateful for your help.

Market2Go is thrilled to announce we now have a brand-new vendor, Rosemary Pines, who specializes in both art and natural foraging! We’ve got mushrooms available from three different vendors this week. Soulstice Acres and Rosemary Pines both have delicate but delicious chanterelles available, and Poor Robin Gardens has brought back the fresh shiitake mushrooms that everyone loves.
If you’re more into fun than fungi, there’s something very important you should know – July is national ice cream month! Celebrate by snagging some of your favorite flavors from Southern Swiss Dairy. You can even get quite a few awesome toppings from the market! If you’re looking for a bit of novelty, consider trying out this recipe for Ice Cream Tacos.
