You’re Invited to attend our Grand Opening Celebration & Fundraiser
Please join us in celebrating the opening of the In Season Food Shop at Bow Market and learn about our mission to improve local food access in Union Square. If you believe in what we're trying to do, you can support In Season by purchasing discounted Future Groceries, investing in the company directly through our MainVest platform, entering a raffle to win a specially selected local food gift basket, or just picking up some food from the shop. Our goal is to raise at least $10,000 to help cover opening costs and set the business up to thrive. We hope to see you there!
Note: Please RSVP through the provided Eventbrite link. This will help us keep track of how many plan to attend.

Future Groceries
To coincide with our grand opening party, we are excited to launch a special program called Future Groceries. Future Groceries is a pre-paid tab at In Season Food Shop. You can use it to purchase your favorite local snacks, farm fresh veggies, and all your grocery staples, all at discounted prices of 10%, 20% or 30% off. This is our equivalent of a crowdfunding campaign - the support we receive up front will help us support the local farmers and food artisans we source from.
Here’s How It Works:
$100: Get a $100 tab at 10% off
$500: Get a $500 tab at 20% off
$1000: Get a $1000 tab at 30% off
MainVest
We have partnered with MainVest, a Salem- based investment platform, to raise funds from friends and supporters in our community. With as little as $100, you can support our dream.
This money is an investment in our company, not a donation. Once our funding target is reached, we will be making regular payments— similar to stock dividends—until each investor receives 145% of what they put in. We've even included a few perks for those who believe in us enough to invest over $300, $1,000, $2,500, or $5,000.
Learn more about MainVest and our specific goals on our offering page: https://mainvest.com/businesses/in-season-food-shop
Raffle
In addition to the bigger fundraising drives listed above, we’ll be raffling off a custom gift basket, including several of our favorite local food products, an In Season T-Shirt, and a one-of-a-kind Future Groceries tab of $100 at 20% off! This is a fun way for us to show off some of the great products in our store and make sure all our friends have a chance to walk away with something memorable.
Buying Raffle Tickets:
Everyone who purchases Future Groceries or invests in the MainVest platform will receive one raffle ticket
Individual tickets will be sold for $5
$10 purchases three tickets
$20 will get you eight tickets (that’s half the price of a single ticket!)
