Welcome to the [**Market Home**](https://shop.iowafood.coop/) page - your online shopping cart! Through the Market home page you can order exactly what you want from whom you want with no minimum order. There are lots of ways to shop, so let's take a look around! * The [**Meet our producers**](https://shop.iowafood.coop/producers) section is where you can read about your hard-working Iowa neighbors and get to know who grows your food and what growing practices they use. From here you have the option to shop from their individual producer catalog. * Click on the [**New products**](https://shop.iowafood.coop/product-search) tab to check out newly added items. What will you discover this week? * Want to order something you have ordered before? It's easy: you can check out a catalog of your [**Past Purchases**](https://shop.iowafood.coop/product-search?CkPast=true) here.

You can even filter your selections based on what production types meet your goals or needs!

* We feel it's important to know how your food is produced. Click the Production Type button to filter searches by production type such as Certified Organic, Animal Welfare Certified, or Gluten-Free. If you are curious to learn more about what various production types entail click the Production Type Info tab at the bottom of the list. * As you scroll down you’ll find you can also shop by sub-category. Here you can see all items in any applicable category (such as "apples"). The variety of subcategories shown changes with product availability and it’s a great way to keep up with what’s in season. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
