  • Remember* 
    • Keep at least quite a few items 3/5 or higher to assure you get a good mix in your shares throughout the summer!
    • For example; if you only eat chicken, set ALL beef & pork cuts to 0's so that you don't receive them.

HOME DELIVERY: It's hot outside in the summer!

  • If you are on home delivery, please consider investing in a cooler.
    • The cooler should be big enough to fit your share into. You should know roughly how much you receive by the number of shares your order.
    • We can empty contents into a cooler upon request OR
    • If your cooler is big enough, we can place the bag right inside.
    • We do pack a frozen water bottle to help keep it cold, but this is very temporary.
