About Us

The NuValley Farmers Market & Buyers Club began as an effort to purchase good wholesome food in bulk for our family and a few friends and neighbors. To provide an outlet for urban gardeners and artisans.

Our personal mission is to provide folks with whatever service it takes to help them along the road to a wholesome and healthy diet.

This means:

Wholesome foods at a fair price. By seeking out like-minded suppliers and keeping overhead to a minimum, we are able to charge a reasonable price for a high quality product. Our members, in effect, help each other to get the best deal by purchasing bulk quantities every four weeks instead of every-other-day visits to the grocer. By keeping our expenses low, operating from our farm and having essentially no inventory, we are able to pass along the savings to you.

Careful selection of suppliers for integrity and quality. Most of our suppliers are family-owned and operated farms or businesses. We are personal friends with practically everyone we buy from. We know them and we feel good about supporting them. We hope you'll feel just as good about helping other families earn a right living.

Care for the land and environment. As much as possible we use recycled or recyclable supplies. We encourage, through our member's support, a more sustainable agriculture by our selection of products that are organically grown or grown with fewer chemicals. We apply environmentally friendly practices to our farm and our business, and choose suppliers by the same standards.

The operation is much like a co-op. You may buy in bulk or in specified quantities . . . but without the meetings, work-time requirements, or investment.

Actually, as members, many small co-ops enjoy our competitive pricing. They like our individualized invoicing, combining methods, and shipping schemes. These make our prices and services desirable even at a distance.

Many of our services are unique and free. We maintain a database of recipes and product information for food and products we sell. Also, we provide research for specific diets. We are not health professionals but we are able to share the experiences of our members.

Members receive a bulletin each month with schedules, sale items, new products, recipes and other helpful information.

We now offer products from three catalogs: 

1) Naturals catalog with a great line of body care products, health and beauty aids, medicinal and culinary herbs; natural, organic and cruelty-free products.

2) At-a-Distance catalog, filled with wholesome, nutritious, natural and organic foods, shipped all over the US on a day-to-day schedule.

3) Local Pick-Up catalog, for members who pick at out farm, at Tates Produce & Hawk. Typically this for people who are in and around Youngstown, Ohio. We receive and deliver orders co-op style daily.

Shipping is different for each catalog. Incentives do not apply from one catalog to the other because the products in the various catalogs are shipped from different locations and have different cost structures.
