Are you getting Home Delivery? Invest in a cooler for your veggies & meat/freezer orders!

  • If you have signed up for a home delivery route, we highly suggest getting a cooler for us to leave your produce and potential frozen orders in while it waits for you to get home because it gets very hot in the summer!
  • We take back the boxes!! 
    • Please return the veggie boxes, containers, and other farm items. Don't recycle them! We reuse.
    • Leave them out your following delivery & the driver will grab them.

Last-minute holiday & you need to postpone your shares?

  • No problem! 
  • Simply reschedule your share to another available week. (often you will be doubling up the week you choose)
    • This can be done on your online profile. 
  • Please DO NOT put your share on hold, reschedule it immediately.
    • We ask this because what happens is you forget to reschedule the box & come the end of the season, you miss out on a box you've paid for. :(

Hay Season is Upon Us!

  • We are very busy getting all of our hay cut right now as it is ready and there is soooo much of it. 
  • For those who do not know, hay is a mixture of grasses/forages that we grow/cut/and preserve as feed for our livestock in the winter. 
    • In the winter, all of the pastures are covered and snow, and there is nothing for the cows to graze, hence why we need to have a storage of winter feed.
    • Cows are herbivores and ruminants which means they only eat vegetation! And boy do they eat a lot of it. 
  • In a good growing season, we will get two cuts of hay off of each field. Sometimes 3 in a really good season. 

 

Farm Store in Zephyr is open Thursday-Sundays. (See calendar on website)

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 Veggie Boxes 
    • Remove the sticker with your name on it
    • Fold the boxes down so they are flat
      • Pop the bottom in, the pull on the flaps out until flat.
  • Return Red Bags
