Is all this food REALLY Local?
Our partners are located as close as right here in Brookings, and no further than approximately 200 miles from Brookings. For more information about this, see our Local Food Partners page. With very few exceptions, NOTHING comes from further away than 200 miles, making this a truly local market!
What do you mean by your “100% Guarantee”?
We work tirelessly to ensure that customers are satisfied with every product they receive from us. If you are at all disappointed, please contact us as soon as possible (preferably within five days of receiving your order, and/or within 24 hours of having prepared the food in question) to let us know. We will not hesitate to refund you for that product when the situation warrants. Due to the perishable nature of some of our products, refunds for perishables are generally not extended more than five days after you’ve received your order. Contact Kathleen at 541-661-1385 or at contact@otterbeesmarket.com.
How do you keep the food fresh and/or frozen?
The produce will be boxed on the farms, transported to Brookings, and handed out all within 48 hours of harvesting to guarantee freshness. During the winter months, there are a few items, called “cold-storage items” (example: beets, onions) which are stored according to specific freshness guidelines through the cold months (when leaving them in the ground could cause them to go bad). However, these items are few and far between.
Frozen products – and anything which requires refrigeration during delivery – will be packed in insulated bags and/or with cold paks and delivered within two hours of packing.
What happens when I open an Account with OtterBee’s Market©?

I want you to ship product to me, but your website won’t let me choose that option. What’s wrong?
We offer LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY to three towns in our immediate area: Brookings, Oregon, Gold Beach, Oregon, and Smith River, California. We do not ship product. However, you can try contacting the producer of whatever you’re trying to order and ask them to sell and ship to you. Some of our producers DO ship outside this area, but not all do. Please contact the producer directly via this link – Local Food Partners – to ask them about that option.
