What do you love about your weekly veggies?

Posted on September 16th, 2019 by Timothy Lyon

As the farmers, we love being able to eat straight from the field, and pass that fresh goodness on to you on a regular basis. What do you love about getting a share from our farm? Please spread the word! 

If you like our produce, please recommend this little bicycle-powered urban farm now. You get credit for recommending us. Use the Referral tab in Harvie.

And, please recommend Farm Stand which let's folks get a taste of CSA eating without the financial outlay up front, something some folks name as a barrier to getting a CSA. Here's how it works:

1. Sign up for Harvie farm stand

If we do not have any shares available at the moment, they’ll be asked to subscribe to the farm stand notifications. Signing up for the Harvie farm stand subscription means you have expressed interest in receiving notifications about when we have extra products available for purchase through the farm stand. When we do, they’ll get an email!

If we have shares available, an account can be created while the order is placed!

Please keep in mind it is not a guarantee that we’ll have extras each week. 

2. Set your preferences for delivery and share options

When share options are set, delivery options alerts are also set. 

Once product preferences are set, each share is built specifically based on those preferences and what the farm has available that week so everyone gets what they want to eat. To learn more about how preferences work, click here

3. Order your products

When we have products available on the Farm Stand for purchase that match product and share delivery options, notifications are sent and orders can be placed. 

4. Swapping items is a bonus, but depends what is available on the farm. 

The Swap option is the same one you get in your e-mail every week. It let's new Members have control over what they get, making Farm Stand an option for Restaurants, Cafes, Daycares and other businesses to sign up for a share and feed others from our farm too.

That’s it! 

Please share widely - check out our Instagram and Facebook posts and please Share them on your page or in Groups you are part of! Feel free to copy and paste the 4 steps above to e-mail your contacts to introduce them to Farm Stand.
