WELL, WE DID IT!! The first box went off without a hitch last week and we even managed to pack the boxes in record time. Our farm team is excited about what we have to offer in this week's boxes: there will be the first of the new potatoes and carrots, arugula, fennel, broccoli, cucumbers as well as many other goodies...Yum!
It's been great growing weather, so our plan to decrease this week's boxes by the 20% isn't necessary. We will build a regular sized box for everyone, and then increase the next four weeks by 5% to compensate for the 20% decrease last week. Thanks to everyone for your notes of understanding and encouragement!
We have a few tips and reminders to help things go smoothly for you and us:
*When picking up your bin at King's, Awn, Breadlove, Butcher Block or the Fort Distillery, please make sure that you are getting the bin with your name on the label! There was one mix up with that this weekend, and we'd like to avoid it in the future.
*Make sure that you set your preferences on your Harvie account. This ensures that you receive boxes tailored to you! Save the 5 star rating for things that you really love and don't give everything 5 stars because that doesn't help the software as effectively.
*Take advantage of the swapping and adding extras if you want them! Remember to do it before Wednesday morning, 5:00 (so basically Tuesday night unless you are a very early riser).
*Let us know if you ever want help! I (Jenny) check emails each morning - you can send in a note via your Harvie account, or email us directly at jamesandjenny@sundogorganicfarm.ca. If it is a more urgent concern, call us at 780-447-3025 or 780974-6249. We are always here for you!
You are AWESOME!
When we do hear from you, it is always a pleasure. You guys are an amazing group of customers and we feel truly lucky to be serving you. We regularly receive encouragement, kind words, courteous questions and we thank you so much for this.
It was really fun seeing some of you on our weeding day last week. We sure picked a hot one for it, but we managed to get three tedious beds of herbs weeded, so a success! Our sincere thanks to those who took time and energy to be with us in the field.
Have a great week and enjoy your veggies!
Love, James, Jenny and the Sundog crew
