New Rideshare service allows customers to "carpool" their orders

Posted by: Trevor

April 24, 2012

We just wanted to let our customers know that we've added a new service to our website called "Farm Rideshare" --- which allows you to "carpool" your order with other people who live in your area.

Example: you live in downtown Vancouver. You want to connect with other Sumas Mountain Farms customers who live in your area so you can take turns coming out to the farm to pick-up your meat orders. Saves time, gas, etc. So, you go to our website and click "Farm Rideshare" which brings up this page:

https://www.sumasmountainfarms.ca/rideshare.php

Next, you click "post a message" --- here you can say something like "I live in downtown Vancouver and am looking to carpool my order with someone else... contact Sherry."

Then your message will appear on our website and if anyone wants to contact you, they can (don't worry, they can't see your email address, it's hidden).

We've tried to make it simple. We know a lot of our customers live in Vancouver and other areas that are a long drive from our farm, so we are hoping the Rideshare program will help.

If you are interested, give it a try!
