Farm-direct · by the case · Lower Mainland

The farmers market that sells out before it opens.

Back a case of Okanagan fruit from the family that grew it. When enough neighbours commit, the drop tilts— the farmer picks exactly what's sold and brings it to a pickup near you. You're only charged when it tilts.

1,212 cases delivered this season · 0 spoiled · 14 drops tilted

How a drop works

Three steps. The order is the whole idea — money commits first, fruit gets picked last.

01

A farmer lists a drop

Simmons Family Orchards has 50 cases of Glohaven peaches ready to pick. They set the price, the case size, and the tilt point — the number of cases that makes the trip down worth it.

02

Neighbours back it

You reserve the cases you want. Your card is pre-authorized, not charged. Talk is cheap — a comment isn't a vote, a reserved case is.

03

It tilts

The drop hits its tilt point: everyone's charged, the farmer picks exactly what's sold, and it lands at one pickup in your community that weekend. Nothing spoils. Nobody drives out to a sold-out stand.

Skin in the game beats a like

A comment on a video isn't demand. A pre-authorized case is. That one change fixes the risk for everyone.

For you

Your cases are guaranteed before you leave the house. No more showing up at 9 AM to a farmer who sold out at 8:30.

For the farmer

They know by Tuesday whether Saturday is worth the drive — and exactly how much to pick. Sold out before a single piece of fruit comes off the tree.

For the market

Every drop delivers a crowd of qualified buyers who already spent $80+ — and still want sourdough, blueberries, and everything else at the stalls.

“I knew by Tuesday the trip was worth it. I picked Friday, drove down Saturday, and every case already had a name on it.”
— Dale Simmons, Simmons Family Orchards, Summerland
