What is HELPCA?
 

A community initiative to get safe access to quality produce and products to stay sane during this time.
Not for profit and community based, our focus is to strengthen our connection with our local small businesses during those times.  A great way to keep our local producers engaged during this uncertain time.

Consolidating suppliers and demand, across Ferias (farmers market) and regions to :

1.  Limit the number of people delivering to the same home for efficiency

2.  Finding the best routes

3.  Extend the access to further away community and new potential customers

 

We are carefully adding local producers who have been distributing in our local Férias and have created a catalog of products that will be delivered home or at a pick up place in Dominical, Uvita and Ojochal with limited to no contact options.
We are looking at expansion to Quepos and others cities as we get enough critical mass - about 10 households.

 

 

What products are available?
 

So far we have a catalog of 120 products.

Mostly vegetables and fruits that are either certified organic or without chemicals, super food like pollen, chia, tinctures, goat cheese and also Kombucha from Mama Jungla to name a few.

We are adding some every day and will fine tune the catalog to respond to local demand,.

 

How does it work?
 

We have an online central ordering form all members. This form is to be submitted by Wednesday night for delivery on Fridays.

 

Deliveries will either be in a pick up spot in Dominical, Ojochal and Uvita or delivered home depending on quantify and products.
We are working on creating routes and optimize for maximum amount of delivery.

 

We limit human interaction both at delivery and pick up.
