• We have been renting our local church kitchen to make some of our products BUT it is very limited in the appliances and the quality of equipment we need to make many of our products.
• Once we are back in our kitchen, you will start to see our products coming back into inventory.

Here are some helpful tips to help you skip!

First things first;
What is "skipping" an order week?
1) Our online program works by having you automatically signed up for every order week once you sign up. 
   -An order is pre-made for you every week based on your preferences and it awaits you to customize it during the customization period (Friday evenings to Sunday afternoon). And it will be delivered to you the following week. 
2) If you do not want to receive an order that week b/c you're going to be away OR you may have too much food in your fridge, you need to log into your account and "SKIP" the upcoming order week. 

How do I skip an order?
1)Log into your HARVIE account.
2)Select the "Deliveries Tab" on the dashboard.
  -You will see all of your future deliveries here. 
3)On the right side, there will be a yellow button beside each date that is labeled "skip".
  -Select skip for all of the upcoming order dates that you do not want to receive a delivery.
  -This can be reversed at any time before the week cut-off time (Sunday at 2pm of that week) in the case that you change your mind and want to make an order.
4)You will get an email every Friday (unless you skipped that order ahead of time) that will let you know you can now customize. You can take that opportunity to skip the upcoming week.
   -The customization period closes on Sundays at 2pm EVERY WEEK. If you forget to skip before then, it is too late and you will be receiving an order. 

Different ways to "Skip"!
1)If you know your summer schedule, log into your account and skip those dates ahead of time so you do not forget last minute.
2)If you want, you can skip every single week for the entire summer and instead log in every week and re-activate the order.
  -This way you only receive an order if you remember to turn it on.
  -This requires more memory on your part. 
  -You must re-activate each share before Fridays!

How to Double check that you skipped an order week;
1)After you've selected the dates you want to skip, each of them should have a new yellow button beside them labeled "DON'T SKIP"
2) Refresh the page and make sure the dates still have the "Don't Skip" button beside them.
3)If you get an email on Friday that says you can customize your order, you have not skipped that week and will need to go to your box customization screen and it will give you the option to skip that upcoming order week.
4)If you get the Sunday reminder email that states "There are only 4 hours left to customize your shares!" then you still have not skipped and need to log into your account.
