Veggie Taxi is a local food home-delivery service now available to anyone in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It works by providing Fayetteville residents an easy online way to request delivery of local food products from Farm Stop, Elkins, and by providing a farm CSA pickup/delivery option for current subscribers.
The age of convenient grocery shopping is upon us, and Veggie Taxi’s founder saw that local food vendors were struggling to keep up. Consumers are growing accustomed to the convenient grocery options like online ordering and home delivery but most local farms do not offer a home delivery option. Veggie Taxi is trying to help fill that need to increases the level of convenience for customers that want to support local farms and Arkansas Grown foods.
Veggie Taxi are currently providing customers the opportunity to request home delivery of local food products through our website. [https://Veggie.Taxi] Veggie Taxi partnered with Farm Stop to enable customers to submit a list of requested items to Veggie Taxi via our online request form, and then have those item picked up from Farm Stop, Elkins, and delivered anywhere in Fayetteville for a flat fee. After delivery, customers will receive a secure payment link to settle their bill. It is that simple.
For Fayetteville residents that have a subscription to one of the local farm C.S.A.s, Veggie Taxi offers an on-demand delivery option for those weeks when subscribers need help picking up their farm products for the week. In the past, subscribers would miss out on the products they had paid for if any reason came up that they could not pickup their weekly C.S.A. box in person. Now, with Veggie Taxi, subscribers have a way to request home delivery so they never have to miss out.
Many people want to buy local food and support local farms. The idea of shopping at a store like Farm Stop, which only stocks products from local Arkansas farmers, is ideal but finding time to drive to Elkins each week can be impractical. Now with Veggie Taxi, customers can simply send their grocery list to us through the online form, and we will bring those local products right to their home. It’s like the convenience of a big box store made possible for our local farms and local food system.
