What is Absentee Buying?
Absentee buying is remote bidding done on behalf of restaurants, institutions, organizations, or individuals by the PFPA’s designated bidder. It’s a great way for chefs, cooks, wholesalers, clubs, or individuals to source fresh, local produce without coming to the auction if their busy schedules won’t allow it. When satisfying orders, our chosen bidder will take the highest bid first.
Note: All absentee bid forms MUST be submitted by NOON on the day of the auction. A 3% Service Fee will be added to all completed orders.
How does it work?
Bid orders for our Monday and Thursday auctions can be placed weekly by phone or email, with a list of requested commodities and the highest price the purchaser is willing to pay for each commodity.
On auction days, our Absentee Buyer uses those bids to acquire produce on the floor in real-time.
Following the auction, the purchaser would be notified via email, text, or phone call of what was purchased for them that day.
Delivery can be arranged (for a fee) depending on the location and quantity ordered. If the purchaser would like delivery, it must be scheduled beforehand.
