A Union County food-delivery service extended its reach to households on roads its refrigerated van cannot safely travel, and set an April 15 delivery that doubles as a fundraiser for the La Grande Farmers Market.

Good Groceries, based in Enterprise and serving Northeast Oregon, announced the expansion April 7, adding designated pickup sites for customers whose driveways and access roads the company's two-wheel-drive refrigerated van cannot reliably traverse. The new locations are positioned to serve clusters of rural homes, bringing locally sourced meat, eggs, produce, and prepared foods within reach of residents previously outside the delivery footprint.

The timing sharpens the stakes. Shoppers who place orders between April 10 and 13 and select the Union County delivery window will have 10% of their purchases donated to the La Grande Farmers Market, with delivery scheduled for April 15. The company encouraged customers to "stock up this week, and support the market!"

Good Groceries accepts SNAP benefits and participates in the Double Up program, which increases purchasing power for qualifying produce purchases. SNAP customers can select "Pay at Delivery" at checkout and apply coupon codes where applicable, removing the upfront payment barrier that makes online ordering inaccessible for some lower-income households.

The company sources from small regional farmers, ranchers, and makers in Northeast Oregon and frames the expansion as economic development as much as consumer convenience. Revenue returns to local producers at a higher rate than large retail chains typically return to growers, a meaningful distinction in a county where agriculture anchors the local economy.

Union and Wallowa county customers select their delivery window or pickup site during account registration on the Good Groceries platform. The clarified weekly ordering schedule gives customers in both counties a predictable cadence for placing and receiving orders.

The fundraising window closes April 13, with delivery April 15, giving customers a narrow opening this week to stretch their grocery spending further while directing money to one of the region's most established local food institutions.
