Maple Syrup Season Prep Begins

• We have been out in the sugar bush checking lines and replace spiles.
• If the weather cooperates, we are hoping to be collect sap once this chilly weather slows down & begin making Maple Syrup for 2022!

Do you like swapping items out of your shares for some customizing fun?

• This is great! We love that you're enjoying being able to makes changes, if you'd, like to your shares. 
• We want to remind you;
  • Make sure if you delete an item that you add another in. Other wise your share may be under value depending on the prices of the cuts.
    • *Sometimes to add another item in you need to double an item you already have. Then you can 'swap' out 1 of the 2 for a different item.
  • There is a cart Window the slide out from the right hand side that shows what you have in your share, if you owe extra, or if your share in undervalue.
  • When swapping, you may trade a lesser value item for a higher priced item. You will in-cure a "swap charge" and will have to pay the difference.

Please Salt Your Driveways!

• We are almost done with the winter season but it is still quite icy.
• Please make it easier on our drivers and keep you walk ways clear & salted. 
• Big thanks!

We've locked in supply lines for our 2022 Summer Growing Season

• With the uncertainty of many items these days, we wanted to be on top of things.
• We have our seed orders booked- most remained the same price, some increases but not terrible.
• We have invested in good equipment & strengthened our numbers for our livestock so we are looking at a good start (knock on wood) for the summer. 

Farm Store in Zephyr open every other Saturday. (See calendar on website)

Home Delivery? Invest in a cooler for your veggies.

• If you have signed up for a home delivery route, we highly suggest getting a cooler for us to leave your produce in while it waits for you to get home because it gets very cold in the winter.

Please Return Boxes & Red Cooler Bags!

• Home Delivery: Please leave the box & containers out for the drivers to pick up.
• Pick Up Locations: Leave the box and/or items there and we will pick them. 
• To Return Veggie Boxes 
  • Remove you sticker with your name on it
  • Fold the boxes down so they are flat
    • Pop the bottom in, the pull on the flaps out until flat.
