BUYING CLUBS

In a typical buying club, farmers consolidate orders from a number of customers and deliver them to a central location, typically a customer’s home. If you want to join a buying club in your area, contact the appropriate people below:

Galen Bontrager Farm participates in a seasonal buying club organized by Friendly Farms. Call Bob Braverman at Friendly Farms (319) 338-2920 for more information.
