Cold Weather Coming! Protect those veggies!

Posted on January 5th, 2024 by Mike Kozlowski

 

Happy Friday!

I see some very cold temperatures around -30 in the forecast for our delivery days next week on Thursday and Friday. If you receive home delivery and do not plan to be home during you regular delivery time, it is super important that you leave a cooler with a warm water bottle out next to your door so that your orders will not be ruined by the cold. Thanks so much for helping us get your orders to you safe and sound!

 

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.
