HOW IT WORKS

STEP 1: LOCAL SOURCING
No More Empty Pots works with a network of over 32 local producers and farmers to procure local ingredients for both the prepared meals and the CSA’s. You support and benefit from sourcing that:
- Is from a producer or farmer that is value aligned
- Is tansparent. Get to know and trust the farmers behind your food
- Is committed to investing in ethical land stewardship
- Reduces food transportation time and costs
- Builds awareness of food options beyond the grocery store

STEP 2: SUBSCRIBE TO COMMUNITY HARVEST
Ready to get CSA’s and Prepared Meals? Set it and forget it with our new subscription model. When you subscribe to Community Harvest, you’ll be able to create your own profile where you can make purchases and set preferences. Once your payment type is set, you’ll continue to receive recurring services until you cancel your subscription.

STEP 3: BROWSE THE STORE
Take a look at the online store. The store will feature both food and non-food items. Order everyday staples like bread and milk or get your hands on an activity kit! All items in the store are procured from local producers, NMEP chefs, NMEP Culinary Certificate Program students, NMEP Community Education team and NMEP entrepreneurs. Inventory of store items is limited and subject to change based on availibility and seasonality.
