eat! PEDIDOS EN LÍNEA

eat! is a digital platform that connects customers to the farmers’ market, and aims to address barriers to access faced by community members who are unable to attend farmers’ markets due to limited transportation options, mobility restrictions, or conflicting personal and work commitments during market hours. The eat! platform can be accessed by computer, tablet, or phone at orderoneat.org, or by downloading the app from the Apple or Google Play store.

“eat! gives farmers and small food vendors both autonomy and community in the digital space that leverages the physical infrastructure of the farmers market to meet people where they’re at, scaling food access for communities across Los Angeles and creating new economic opportunities for family farmers and local food entrepreneurs.” says Food Access LA Director of Operations, Elizabeth Bowman.

Shoppers have the option to order goods from multiple participating farmers and food vendors for curbside pick up at the market or delivery to their home or workplace. This new farmers market online ordering system is available for use at most Food Access LA-run Farmers Markets, including Hollywood, Atwater Village, LA River, Crenshaw, and Compton College.

The platform offers pre-order options for a wide range of vendors offering many varieties of regionally grown produce, everyday staples like sourdough bread, eggs, and dips, and ready-to-eat meals and snacks.

Customers can also find highly sought-after vendors, such as Tutti Frutti Farms, JG Berries, Sunrise Organics, Ari's Gourmet Foods, and Tomorrow Bagels, who often have lengthy market queues or sell out early. Food Access LA is currently testing EBT payments as a check-out option for pick-up orders and hopes to eventually be accepted as a SNAP online retailer.
