LAKE COUNTY — Lake County Community (Lake) Co-op has expanded ordering options to include weekly subscriptions.
A subscription is a weekly order that is placed once and continues automatically until put on hold by the customer. It is a new feature available through Lake Co-op”s new online ordering system.
Lake County residents can purchase weekly subscriptions that are delivered to one of 10 drop points throughout the county or to their home or office. “We”re making access to local food one of our top priorities and subscription sales make that access so much more convenient for our customers,” co-op chair Janine Smith-Citron said.
Lake Co-op”s recently-launched online ordering system includes subscriptions to items such as its all-organic weekly fruit and veggie box that is sourced local first, regional second and last by an organic distributor.
Consumers can also purchase bakery goods and individual items such as the new mushroom of the week, herb of the week and potato of the week, and bananas (fair-trade when available).
Subscriptions can be supplemented with other items as the customer desires by placing an order during the open order cycle.
Shopping on the website begins at 12:01 a.m. Sundays and continues through 12:30 p.m. Tuesdays. Co-op customers can pick up or receive deliveries from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursdays in most areas.
Drop points are at 10 locations around Lake County and are housed in existing businesses, which display a green “LCCC Drop Point” sign.
Lake Co-op has recently opened sales to the public requiring no membership to purchase products through their online store.
