Good morning everyone,

Hopefully all is well with you and yours! Here in our family we are practicing some serious social isolation. Marcus is isolating up at the farm while Sarah and the kids are isolating in the city. Hopefully these efforts, and those of everyone else practicing social distancing and isolation, will flatten the curve and ease us past this pandemic.

During this time we will continue to do home delivery. Your last delivery should have been left on your doorstep, and you would have been texted by our farm hand come delivery man Lachlan. You can expect us to continue to do home delivery until the end of April, and for that period of time we are not charging for the service. If you like home delivery, we will be adding it as an option in the future for a small fee.

Sold Out Last Week

For the first time in a long time we sold out last week. In fact, we were sold out by Tuesday. For the moment we do not have space available for farm stand sales and one-off sales.

That said, we are holding spaces for our customers from the Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmer's Market, and may have eggs free up over the next week. So do not hesitate to contact us via text, email, or socials.

HSCA Customers

For our newly joined HSCA Customers, and those in the Hillhurst-Sunnyside area of the city, if you wish to subscribe to get weekly eggs please contact us via text, email, or socials and we will work with you to get either a subscription set or do one-off deliveries. The sooner the better, as we are only delivering into those communities on Wednesdays and the order cut-off is Tuesday at 8:00 PM.

Any eggs that don't get allocated to the HSCA area will go up for our other customers to purchase Wednesday mornings.

Local Veggies

If you are looking for local veggies you can head over to http://www.yycgrowers.com and sign up for their weekly harvest box program. They have also opened up an online farmer's market where you can get one-off groceries. This is where our household is now getting much of our produce so we can help support local farms and businesses. Check them out if you are interested.

Thanks For Being Awesome

We just want to say a big thank you to everyone who follows us on socials and especially our customers. This has been a very chaotic time, and you all have been supportive and patient. It lifts our spirits to know how awesome you all are.

Locally Yours,

Marcus, Sarah, Samuel, Boaz
