Kicking off the season!

Posted on June 14th, 2020 by Mathew Levinson

Hi Everyone!

 

Farmer Mat here. I'm beyond excited to be preparing for delivery of the first veggie boxes of the season! I spent a lot of time planning during the winter and Caylin, Nicole, and I have been working hard this Spring to get the season started off on the right foot! 

Here is a quick run-down of how the ordering, customizing, and delivery will go: As of now (Monday morning) Harvie has put together an order for you based on the preferences you set and what I have ready to harvest this week. You have until Tuesday (tomorrow) night at 11:59pm to customize your order (by, say, removing radishes from your order and getting extra baby spinach instead, for example). Wednesday morning, Nicole and I will harvest and wash everything to order. Thursday morning, Caylin and I will finish packing your orders and then I'll hit the road and bring those unbeatably fresh veggies straight to you!

The first veggies of the season are looking really really great and I know that you'll love them, but unfortunately I don't have as much variety to offer at this time as I'd hoped. We have had some challenges with fluctuating temperatures and not much rainfall this Spring that have slowed down some of the production. Know that I'll be turning up the dials on irrigation and will make it up to you with bountiful offerings later on in the season!

You will receive another email with more specific details re: delivery and pick-up times, so please keep an eye on your inboxes.

 

Thank you so much for your support and have a great week!
