What am I committing to by joining a Local market?

When you join a Local market, registration is free and non-binding.

You are free to order what you want at the pace you prefer.

You choose your products without a minimum order.

Depending on the sales rhythm in the Local market you have chosen (some are weekly, bi-weekly or twice a month), you have access to the offers from the Producers selected by your Hive's Coordinator. You place your order and pay directly on the website.

To discover the current offers and place an order, visit the Local market on the distribution date of your choice. On the day of distribution, you will need to:

Either go to the distribution point to collect your order (at the distribution location of your Local market or the mini market attached to it, whichever you prefer). Don't forget to bring your shopping bags.

If, at the time of payment for your order, you chose the "home delivery" option, if available in your Local market, you must be present at the delivery address you provided when finalising your order and be sure to specify your telephone number in case the delivery person needs to contact you.

Each Local market has its own day and its own distribution hours. This information is shown on your Local market's homepage and on your order form.

Your involvement can stop there, but you can also get involved in developing your Local market.

If, for example, you know good Producers near you, you can share their contact details with your Host.

If you wish and are able, you can also help the Producers or the Host during distributions. 

If you would like to implement initiatives linked to the collaborative economy, contact your Host. Would you like a zero-waste Ruche or one without packaging? A Hive with a chicken coop? ... Talk to them.

A Local market, beyond being a place to do your shopping, is also a place to reinvent social ties and improve our relationship with nature.
