!Switch to Thursday pickup! Winter Weather

Posted on January 18th, 2022 by Marie Williamson

Pickup this week will be Thursday at Morganton Natural Foods 4-6pm. This schedule shift means that you're getting this email today with a deadline to make customization/cancellation changes by tonight, Tuesday at midnight. 

Clare will be at this pickup to help you with your veggie boxes and meat orders.

Order honey, pork, ground beef, eggs, salami, and vegetables.

Our computer platform, Harvie, will probably still say Friday pickup 4-6pm; it is difficult to change pickup date's details since this is usually a reoccurring weekly date. So, if the program still says, Friday 4-6pm, please ignore it and know that it is Thursday 4-6pm this week. 

We're having some cold winter weather, and the Friday forecast is looking a bit dicey for driving.  Better safe than sorry- don't want lots of people to not be able to make it Friday with potentially icy roads after we have put all the work into harvesting fresh vegetables with a shelf life and having to arrange make up dates.

The harvest is a bit different this week- we're primarily harvesting from our heated greenhouses and a few unheated hoophouses that we left covered and standing for the snow.  We uncovered the plastic roof covering from 4 unheated hoophouses to prevent collapse of the metal frame from the snow, so now those uncovered crops are under a blanket of snow.

We'll be harvesting very quickly tomorrow to move up our harvest, wash, organize, and pack process by 1 day.
