Today’s Harvest Virtual Line

For Today’s Harvest Oakdale (8264 4th St N, Oakdale, MN) location only!

This “virtual line” through Table’s Ready is designed to replace the physical pagers we currently use. You sign up using your name and phone number, from anywhere, to save your spot in line. You will need a phone that can receive text messages to join our virtual line.

FAQs

When you add yourself to our virtual line, it will ask for a name. You are welcome to enter your initials or only your first initial instead of your full name.


If you are not comfortable providing your name or phone number, you can pick up a physical pager by the welcome desk.

You can still get a physical pager from our welcome desk inside Today’s Harvest Oakdale. If you have a pager, we ask that you wait in your car or, if you do not have a car or have mobility challenges, wait inside. 

Once you are 20th or sooner in line, start driving to our market. If you live further away or are taking public transportation, we recommend heading to the market when you are 30th in line. 

No, you do not need to wait in our parking lot or inside our market. But don’t forget to check your spot in line to know when to head over to Today’s Harvest Oakdale!

Our waitlist closes 30 minutes before our Today’s Harvest market closes. If it is after that time and you are still planning to stop at our market, please come in and talk to a volunteer. As long as you get to our market before we close, you will be able to get food. 

If you are removed from the virtual line, that means that you were next in line for more than 10 minutes and did not check in to shop. You should re-add yourself to it at todaysharvestmn.org/oakdaleline.

If you think you were removed from the waitlist by mistake, please talk to a staff member. 

When it is your turn, you will receive a text message letting you know. Simply come to the entrance of the market and let a staff member know you are there. The volunteer will ask for either the name you entered or to confirm the last four digits of your phone number. If you have a physical pager, please return it to a staff member at that time.

No. You can add yourself to the virtual line by visiting todaysharvestmn.org/oakdaleline. Our line will open 30 minutes before our market opens.

If you add yourself to the list and see that there is not a long line, start coming to the market right away.
