How to Use This Website

Julie's Vegetable Ranch Pantry is an evolving hybrid between a buyer's club and a retail store.

• You are a "Participant".    
• Participants first browse the Info/ Interest page for a Supplier (located on both side bars).  Specific information for each Supplier's unique rules, regulations and requirements is given on these pages.
• Participants express Interest when their supply gets low.  It's a good idea to give plenty of notice.
• Express Interest using the Survey form on that Supplier's Info/Interest page.  
• Surveys have been created to reflect popular and potentially-popular items.  
• When a Survey is not available, Participants are encouraged to use the following resources to decide which items they would like:
  • Supplier's Official Website, or a searchable 
  • Google Wholesale Price List document (links provided)
• Once you know what items you want, express Interest by clicking on the text below the main post telling how many Comments have been submitted.  
• As Interest is expressed for additional items, Surveys will be updated.
• Interest will be tracked and a Pending Order will be compiled on the Supplier's Info/Interest page. 
•  Participants will be contacted to discuss payment and pick-up/delivery logistics when a Pending Order can be placed.  Unless specified otherwise, a 30 % handling fee of 30% is applied to Wholesale prices.  Order Surveys already reflect this handling fee, wholesale price lists do not.
• Orders and delivery/pickup arrangements are made as dictated by Interest and schedule logistics.
• Minimum requirements must be met and enough notice must be given to submit each order.    
•  A check (made to "Julie Rossberg") or cash payment can be made upon pick up, unless an arrangement is made to pay in advance.  
• Substitutions and Cancellations will be made -conservatively- at my discretion.  Every effort will be made to be in communication about changes, but if an executive decision has to be made, I will do my best to anticipate what is preferred, most economical, and/or most logical.  
• It's recommended to plan ahead.  In a pinch, the retail store can be reserved for emergency items to hold someone over until the next order opportunity arises.
