In addition to being regular summer Macomb Farmer's Market vendors with Homefresh Products, Aaron and Lisa Ferguson, of Carthage, have a second business that they would like for customers to know about.
Fresh Roots Market is an on-line home delivery business where the public can set up an account and subscribe to have produce delivered to their home.
The website freshrootsmarket. com will take the subscriber to a page to set up an account, enter credit card information and select a 'box' that will be hand selected and customized, then delivered. To save $5 or your order just enter freshfive when signing up.
The majority of the products you will receive will be locally grown, however upon occasion specific items must come from other vendors- such as items grown in different climates, like bananas or oranges.
Those wishing to place an on-line order in McDonough County will order by Tuesdays, and delivery will be on Fridays (see website for specific times).
At times, the consumer may also be able to select meat, honey and eggs. Produce boxes come in various sizes and if one week the customers only wants onions, only onions will be sent.
The Fergusons state that this delivery service is beneficial to those who are working during Farmer's Market, don't drive or who may be homebound.
There's no reason to not eat healthy with Aaron and Lisa in the area. You can contact Fresh Roots Market at their website-freshrootsmarket. com, on their Facebook page-fresh roots market or by phone at 618946-0406.
