Marshall flower farmer shifts resources to make rural grocery delivery possible - Citizen Times

A floral designer with food safety certifications now makes deliveries from around Madison County to Arden, from Black Mountain to Candler, covering anywhere from 50 to 150 miles in a day. She's even needed to add part time opportunities to tend to flower fields while delivery orders increase.Copus said the business is currently doing dozens of deliveries a day employing now-standard safety and social distancing practices, with fees starting at $7 – “We’re basically offering delivery at cost.” Orders have ranged from as high as $350 to “a bouquet of flowers and two bunches of kale.” Copus stressed the business was setup to reach even the most rural corners of Madison County and that she’d work with customers in remote sections like Spring Creek to help make the higher delivery charge more affordable. “Neighbors can get together to share the cost of delivery.

She said the grocery, focused on local, organic and natural foods, fits with that vision. “We’d love to be your one stop shop, but we’re not there yet. Let us tide you over now so we can get there.
