Customize EARLY + Read for a Surprising New Item

Posted on February 1st, 2023 by Suzanne Williams

This week you will want to customize early so you can get first pick of everything in our store- WHY you ask?

We have a FLASH Farm Stand sale going on this weekend as well. Tell your friends all about it!  We have invited other folks who are not members to purchase a sample box this week and try us out. They will be able to start building their boxes on Saturday morning so be sure to customize early this week if you can. Don't worry, though, we are stocking up so we can meet all of your needs. 

Thanks for supporting our farm team every week. We are so thankful for our members and we are working hard to bring you everything you need week in and week out.  Is there something you'd like to see in our store? Let us know!

NEW this week:

  • Farmer Reuben has White Rum ready for you to try this week!  Made here at the farm by Dumb Ox Distillery- we are excited to get this product to our members.
  • Meadowview Beekeeping has a few new treats: Honey Candy, Creamed Cinnamon Honey, Comb Honey, and Lip Balms- you will want to add some to your cart

Happy Shopping!

We'll keep farming for you,

Reuben, Tessa, and the Farm Crew @ Willow Haven Farm

Important information for you:

VERY IMPORTANT: Check your preferences: your box will be automatically filled with the items YOU prefer.  You can always change items out, but sometimes our veggies, especially, are limited so it is best to have your box filled with your preferences on the first pass. You can change your preferences at anytime throughout the season.

EVEN MORE IMPORTANT!! Customize: Once you receive this email, you can now customize your box.  Customize your box by swapping and/or adding additional items you like from our ever-growing selection of high quality organic foods and products.  You can swap or add in your Harvie account and your card will be charged upon finalization of your order. The customization window will open on Fridays and close at 7pm on Sunday.  

Add another item to your cart:  Your market box is like your grocery budget for the week. Check to see if you have "more value" left in your box by going to customization - click on your cart - then click back to the items. If you have left over value in your share, try adding another low cost item to your cart.

What we need from you: RETURN BOXES...

If you are getting a box delivered: Please remember to put your box out before your next delivery so the driver can take it back to the farm to be reused. Before returning your box (and other packing materials) for pick up - please remove your box label. Why? It saves Farmer Reuben and the crew much time :)

However..... please do SAVE YOUR LABEL if you are missing an item or something is unsatisfactory, Farmer Reuben and the team really do want to know about it.  Sending us a picture of your label will help us diagnose our error in the pack line and make improvements. (You can discard your labels afterward.)   

** Please return any waxed boxes, green cartons, freezer bricks, and reflective box liners at the time of your next delivery or pick up.

** If you have any questions about customizing your box, billing or your account, contact Harvie support. Any other questions, contact me! Read help doc How Swaps Work  and How Preferences Work help doc. 

** Be sure to check out these FAQs to help you learn to navigate your Harvie profile and see how many options you have with your Subscription.

** Earn Farm Credit for signing up friends as members of our farm. Here's how to Refer A Friend! What are Farm Credits? Read How to Receive and Redeem Farm Credit. 

**If you want ideas of how to prepare your veggies - join the Harvie Member Facebook Group. It's full of CSA Members who have lots of experience with uncommon CSA veggies. Just post a picture and ask "What do I do with these?" and you'll get a ton of comments and suggestions.
