Closing the store early on Saturday June 25th *Affects Pick up Members*
- We will be closing early due to a reception we are hosting for Trenton & Kelsey's wedding!
- It was postponed multiple times due to covid.
- The store will be open from 10am-3pm.
Are you getting Home Delivery? Invest in a cooler for your veggies & meat/freezer orders!
- If you have signed up for a home delivery route, we highly suggest getting a cooler for us to leave your produce and potential frozen orders in while it waits for you to get home because it gets very hot in the summer!
- We take back the boxes!!
- Please return the veggie boxes, containers, and other farm items. Don't recycle them! We reuse.
- Leave them out your following delivery & the driver will grab them.
Preferences
- If you haven't, please visit your online profile & set your preferences for each item!
- This helps your shares be made more to your liking.
- You can change these anytime you want.
- We suggest having a good balance and trying everything before you give items a 0 rating.
Last-minute holiday & you need to postpone your shares?
- No problem!
- Simply reschedule your share to another available week. (often you will be doubling up the week you choose)
- This can be done on your online profile.
- Please DO NOT put your share on hold, reschedule it immediately.
- We ask this because what happens is you forget to reschedule the box & come the end of the season, you miss out on a box you've paid for. :(

Hay Season is Upon Us!
- We are very busy getting all of our hay cut right now as it is ready and there is soooo much of it.
- For those who do not know, hay is a mixture of grasses/forages that we grow/cut/and preserve as feed for our livestock in the winter.
- In the winter, all of the pastures are covered and snow, and there is nothing for the cows to graze, hence why we need to have a storage of winter feed.
- Cows are herbivores and ruminants which means they only eat vegetation! And boy do they eat a lot of it.
- In a good growing season, we will get two cuts of hay off of each field. Sometimes 3 in a really good season.
Farm Store in Zephyr is open Thursday-Sundays. (See calendar on website)
