  • It is currently still being tested.

Maple Syrup Season Prep Begins

  • Trees are tapped and the sap is flowing!....very slowly, but it is starting. 
  • You will be able to add this year's maple syrup to your shares boxes shortly!

Our Programs Pricing with all that is going on

  • Right now our prices are forecasted to remain the same with little to no increase in response to the prices of everything increasing so drastically. 
  • We have locked in a lot of purchase pricing for the year. 
  • As always, we will be transparent with you all if we are in need of "one-off" price increases. 

We've locked in supply lines for our 2022 Summer Growing Season

  • With the uncertainty of many items these days, we wanted to be on top of things.
  • We have our seed orders booked- most remained the same price, some increases but not terrible.
  • We have invested in good equipment & strengthened our numbers for our livestock so we are looking at a good start (knock on wood) for the summer. 

 

Farm Store in Zephyr opens every other Saturday. (See calendar on website)

Home Delivery? Invest in a cooler for your veggies.

  • If you have signed up for a home delivery route, we highly suggest getting a cooler for us to leave your produce in while it waits for you to get home because it gets very cold in the winter.

Please Return Boxes & Red Cooler Bags!

  • Home Delivery: Please leave the box & containers out for the drivers to pick up.
  • Pick Up Locations: Leave the box and/or items there and we will pick them up. 
  • To Return Red Bags 
    • Remove the sticker with your name on it
    • You can keep the white bags OR if they are 100% clean and in-tack, you can leave them inside to be returned. 
    • If meat has thawed in the red bag please wash & sanitize before returning. 
  • We accept 12 slot egg cartons & mason jar returns.

 Questions about HARVIE, your share, or other:

  • HARVIE Account- email the Harvie support crew if you're having technical issues.
