Farm Update: Changing Season, Winter Delivery Tips, Delicious Recipes, Important Reminders

Posted on October 27th, 2023 by Mike Kozlowski

Farm Update

This was the first week where we didn't go out into the fields to harvest our own produce and instead relied on crops we have stored and other local producers. It sure has been a nice change of pace at the farm. I'm looking forward to getting a lot of things checked off of my to-do list that I have put aside for most of the growing season. 

Hoping that you and yours are staying warm and well. Thanks so much for your continued orders! 

 

Home Delivery Orders: 

If you get your orders home delivered we very much want to make sure that your products are not freezing. If you didn't see the email I send earlier this week please read the summarized notes below: 

  • Winter Delivery Precautions: To ensure your Steel Pony orders arrive in perfect condition, especially in chilly weather, please place a cooler with a warm water bottle outside your home if you'll be away during our delivery hours (3-5 pm). This simple step prevents freezing and guarantees the freshness of your products upon arrival.

  • Delivery Time Variations: Our team is adjusting to the winter season, leading to slight variations in delivery times. Staff transitions may cause deliveries to be a bit earlier or later than usual. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period.

There are lots of cool recipes this week on facebook page: kimchi, soups, an awesome beet dish, and a quick and easy supper. Thanks for all of your contributions!
