FAQ:
What if I won’t be able to accept my delivery on a particular week?
Life happens, and we want to make sure your harvest never goes to waste! While our current platform doesn't feature an automated pause button, you have three easy options if you're traveling or unavailable:
Gift it to a friend, neighbor, or family member: Have them pick up your box at your regular drop site using your name. It’s a wonderful way to introduce someone you care about to fresh, local food.
Switch pickup sites for the week: If a different location or time works better for your schedule that week, just reach out to us at least 48 hours in advance, and we’ll route your box accordingly.
Donate your harvest: If you can't arrange a pickup, let us know 48 hours prior. We will happily donate your fresh produce to a local food pantry on your behalf so nothing goes to waste.
Please note: Unclaimed boxes that are not gifted, rerouted, or scheduled for donation prior to delivery day cannot be refunded or rescheduled.
Can I choose what I get in my box?
No. Our shares will feature a variety of what we have available each week. Due the nature of our distribution, It’s impossible for us to customize each box to each customer. You are able to add extras of things through our add-on shares or we will occasionally send out emails with offers on abundant produce.
Can I add on extra items from the weekly availability list?
Yes, during our summer season when produce is most abundant, we’ll alert members that they may add extra produce to their box.
What items will I receive in my box?
We grow **over 40 different types of vegetables**, so the contents change weekly based on seasonality and availability. We focus on popular staples while occasionally including something new to satisfy curious members. click here to see a more detailed list
