About Us
eat! is a digital platform that connects customers to 5 of the 8 farmers' markets run by Food Access Los Angeles, a non-profit organization dedicated to building sustainable food systems throughout Los Angeles.
eat! aims to address barriers to food access faced by community members who are unable to attend farmers’ markets due to limited transportation options, mobility restrictions, or conflicting personal and work commitments during market hours. The eat! platform can be accessed by computer, tablet, or phone at orderoneat.org, or by downloading the app from the Apple or Google Play store.
Online shoppers have the option to order goods from multiple participating farmers and food vendors for curbside pick up at the market or delivery to their home or workplace. This new farmers market online ordering system is available for use at most Food Access LA-run Farmers Markets, including Hollywood, Atwater Village, LA River, Crenshaw, and Compton College.
The platform offers pre-order options for a wide range of vendors offering many varieties of regionally grown produce, everyday staples like sourdough bread, eggs, and dips, and ready-to-eat meals and snacks.
On the day of the market, Food Access LA employees pick up the orders from the farmers and vendors, who prepare your order ahead of time. The farmers pick your produce for you to ensure you are getting the best quality items that they recommend. Our staff then combine all the items from your order into one bag or box and prepare it for delivery or pick-up. If you opt for delivery, you will receive a notification from our driver when your order is on its way to you!
Food Access LA is currently testing EBT payments as a check-out option for pick-up orders and hopes to eventually be accepted as a SNAP online retailer.
