Orders are packed into a single-use recyclable brown bag. The bag is stapled shut and a label with your name and order is attached to the outside of the bag. Frozen and fresh items are packed into separate bags, and frozen items are packed with a sanitized ice pack. Please reuse/recycle the packaging appropriately and return the ice pack to our drop box at 180 Intervale Rd, Burlington.
For home delivery, orders are delivered directly in front of the first floor of your residence; we only deliver to the ground floor of buildings. We strongly encourage leaving an iced cooler on the first floor, into which we'll deposit your order.
If you ever experience issues with your food quality, please contact us for a credit to your account.
- Our driver will leave the brown paper bag containing your food outside of your home on your doorstep, porch, etc. Please leave an iced cooler on the ground floor of your residence. You can notify us of a good place to leave your order by updating your driver notes in account preferences.
- Please collect your order and store, refrigerate, or freeze the contents immediately.
- Orders are packed with sanitized ice packs. We will happily collect, sanitize, and reuse clean and intact ice packs; simply leave them where you typically collect your order.
- Brown paper bags can be recycled, reused, or composted. Compostable bag liners can be composted in a composting facility (we do not recommend adding them to back-yard compost); please do not put them in the garbage, as they will not degrade properly.
Intervale Food Hub Pick-Up
- Masks are no longer required for vaccinated individuals during pick-up. If you are unvaccinated, please continue to wear your mask.
- Drive up to the pop-up tent in front of the Food Hub barn (please observe the one-way signs & enter via the second driveway, past the brick farmhouse.)
- Please bring a sign with your last name on it in big, bold letters, and put it up to your window when you arrive.
- If you're biking or walking, come on up to the tent to state your name, staying at least 6 feet away from the greeter at all times.
- An Intervale Center staffer will collect your order and place it on the table in a sanitized basket. You can collect it when we have safely moved away and transfer the contents to your own bag, or bring the whole basket home, returning it at your next pick-up.
- Once we have completed this process, the transfer of ownership occurs and your order is your responsibility.
If you were unable to pick up your order at the Intervale Food Hub, you may pick it up the following week during normal pick up hours, or contact us at intervalefoodhub@intervale.org to schedule an alternative pick-up time that same week!
