Produce Alerts are available only when enabled.

Traveller: find and follow produce#

  1. Open Explore → Produce Alerts.
  2. Search by product/farm, availability or state.
  3. Open an alert and review status, quantity, price, pickup and last-confirmed date.
  4. Choose an interest level: Definitely Interested, Maybe Interested or Remind Me.
  5. Optionally enter estimated quantity, pickup date, travel distance and a note.
  6. Choose whether to receive an Available Now email.
  7. Select Save My Interest.

Your name, email and user ID are not shown to the farmer through Produce Alerts. The farmer sees anonymous aggregated demand and the optional planning responses/note without personal contact details.

Interest does not reserve produce, create an order or guarantee availability. Check the status before travelling.

Stop following#

  • Open the alert and select No Longer Interested, or
  • Use the signed No Longer Interested link in the email.

  1. Open the Business Dashboard → Produce Alerts.
