General:
  1. What is Oikos Food Buyer's Club (FBC)? We're a community of like-minded families and farmers seeking to support our local economy, change our broken food system, and live healthy & full lives! You can read more about us here.
  2. What is a Private Membership Association (PMA)? A PMA is a private club where people join together because they share common interests, beliefs, and/or goals. So... Oikos  FBC is private, which means it's not open to everyone – only those who become members can be a part of it. By joining this PMA you gain access to the highest quality food - as we do all the vetting and product creation for you.
  3. Why is there an annual membership fee? As a PMA, we are required to only offer our products and services to members of our association. Paying for a membership makes a real distinction between who is a member and who isn't. The $20 annual fee covers the cost of bringing your farm fresh goodies to one of our convenient pickup locations for no additional fee.
  4. Is there a minimum order? Nope. Order as little or as much as you'd like.
  5. Am I required to subscribe similar to a CSA? Nope. Add what you want to cart and pass on what you don't.
Delivery:
  1. What day is home delivery? Orders for 'home delivery' will be delivered on Fridays from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm. Occasionally, a situation arises with one of our drivers where we need to delivery on Thursday. If that is the case, you will be notified at least 48 hrs prior.
  2. How much is delivery? Delivery is a flat $15 for orders less than $150. The delivery fee is waived for orders greater than $150.
  3. What if I'm not home when you
Dairy:
  1. Are the dairy products made from A2 milk? While neither of our dairy farms have had their milk tested, both Jersey Acres and Joash Dairy exclusively use Jersey Cows which have a higher percentage of A2 genes compared to other breeds.
  2. Why is the dairy so often "Out of Stock"? Raw dairy is in extremely high-demand and sells out quickly. We have higher inventory during the cooler months (Nov. - May) when the grass is more nutritious and there is less heat stress on the cows. We replenish our dairy inventory every other Tuesday so that is the best day to check.
  3. When will raw cream be in stock? Like a four-leafed clover, the raw cream is difficult to get our hands on. We ask for it with every order and either get '0' or just a fraction of what we ask for. It sells out extremely quickly.
