This week we are open for regular self-serve sales Tuesday thru Saturday! As always, payment can be made with Barrett’s Bucks, check or exact change. We are also trying out a new method to take credit card payment using your smartphone. We’ll have a QR code that will take you to a website where you can select your items and then complete your purchase. You will essentially be filling your own online order on the spot. If you would like to place an order that we will put together for you to pick-up later, please continue to use Open Food Network. We still recommend bringing cash or check as a back-up while we work out the kinks in our self-serve electronic payment system!
