Farm Courier is a new business launching on Bainbridge Island this spring. Founded by native islander Carlee Ashen, Farm Courier's mission is to facilitate the direct-sale of locally grown and locally-produced goods by means of a synchronized website and courier service. The website, www.farmcourier.com (currently under construction) will offer short profiles of each grower/producer (called "sellers" on the site) as well as online ordering of products offered by the sellers, and seasonal recipes complied by Carlee. Sellers using Farm Courier to market and sell their products will receive 100% of the listing price of their items, a price which they alone will set on a week to week basis. Sellers will be paid in full by check when the courier service picks up their products for delivery. All sellers must back their products with a money back guarantee. A forum for comments regarding sellers and buyers will be offered via the website. Initially, there will be no minimum amounts required to sell an item through Farm Courier, however this may need to change if many sellers offer only small amounts of a few products. There will be a minimum delivery charge of $5.00 on all orders. Farm Courier welcomes sellers of all ages, those under 18 will need to have an adult mentor indicated on their profile. All processed foods must be prepared in an approved Commercial Kitchen or Food Processing Facility regulated by the appropriate authority. Products you may see on farmcourier.com include: Fresh Produce, Fresh Baked Breads and Pastries, Frozen meals, Prepared Salads and Sandwiches, Snacks, Ice Cream, Jams Jellies and Preserves, Bath and Body Care products, Fresh Herbs and Natural Remedies, Wine and Beer, Drink Mixes, Fresh Cut Flowers and Arrangements, Wreaths, Gift Baskets, Seafood, Fresh Eggs, Meats, Poultry, as well as Small Gift Items, all from Bainbridge Island and Kitsap County. As of now pickups and deliveries will take place only on Bainbridge Island, however Farm Courier welcomes all Kitsap County sellers and customers to come to the island to do business with Farm Courier. If you are a seller interested in using Farm Courier to sell your products, please contact Farm Courier to reserve an informational & sign-up packet.
