***PLEASE READ THE FARM HAPPENINGS***

This is where we let you know of upcoming events, important and sometimes urgent updates, special happenings & basically anything we want you to know for the upcoming share week.

 

Hello Everyone!

It's HOT. Hoping you all are staying cool & enjoying your farm fresh produce!

PLEASE Return Boxes & Red Freezer Bags

We are getting a little low! We also take back mason jars & 12 hole Egg Cartons 

  • Yes you can return these items! We like to reuse as much as we can :)
  • You can leave them out your next delivery for the driver to get when they drop of your next order. If you are a pick up, you can leave the items at that location and we will grab them.
  • If your red bag has a water bottle in it, do not empty it & leave it in! It's an icepack to help keep the items frozen during delivery. We refreeze them and use them multiple times.

If you &/or your family are currently quarantined, Please keep your items for now.
