Market2Go is Open!


THE MARKET IS OPEN!

It’s National Farmers Market Week! Celebrate by shopping at Market2Go.

Your farmers market has been critical this year in connecting farmers, vendors, customers and volunteers in a local food network that has continued to sustain us through the challenges of a pandemic. Before you order, please take a moment to recognize and appreciate your personal connections to the folks who bring you food and other essentials every week through the Statesboro Market2Go.

ORDER PROCESS.
Place your orders by midnight Tuesday for pickup or delivery on Thursday afternoon.

Choose your pickup location from the drop-down menu before you check out. Options are

  • Statesboro: Thursday afternoon at SCVB
  • Sylvania: Thursday afternoon at Victory Garden General Store
  • To Your Home Delivery (must add delivery to cart and prepay)

Pay online to make our process more efficient and to better meet health guidelines. Register your debit or credit card at Your Account and click “Pay Now” when you check out. Your card will only be charged after you have received your order, including any adjustments for missed items or other credits.

You may now use your EBT/SNAP card to purchase authorized EBT items through the Market2Go, and you’ll receive “bonus” fruits and vegetables through the Georgia Fresh for Less program, effectively doubling your benefits in fresh produce. If you write “EBT” in the order comment field, we will be able to award your bonus dollars. At this time, all EBT transactions must be made by swiping your card at the Statesboro Convention and Visitors Bureau during the Thursday drive-through. If you want to use your card to make market purchases or you know somebody who does, you can learn how by emailing market2gostatesboro@gmail.com.

New order category for donations. In response to requests for a way to give to the market, we’ve added an item category called Market Contributions. If you want to give to the market, just add one of the donation “items” to your shopping basket, from $5 to $100, and that amount will be included in your total at checkout.

PICKUP PROCESS
Statesboro customers can pick up orders on Thursday afternoon in the drive-through at the Statesboro Convention and Visitors Bureau (SCVB). Watch for a Market UPDATE Wednesday night giving specific pickup times.

EBT orders may be made online with assistance from the Market2Go manager. Pickups will be only at the Statesboro drive-through, where we can calculate your bonus dollars and swipe your EBT card for the correct amount.

Sylvania orders may be picked up in front of the Victory Gardens General Store at 124 W Telephone Street on Thursday afternoon from 4:00 to 5:00.

Home Delivery option. Statesboro and Bulloch County residents can have their orders delivered to their homes on Thursday afternoon by purchasing the item “Home Delivery” and selecting “To Your Home Delivery” in the drop-down location menu at checkout.
