RP-Farm Happenings (Delivery 1 Fall/Winter out of 8)

Posted on October 28th, 2020 by Diane Riehm


Jonie helping sort bins of squash, potatoes and carrots to get ready for pickup.

One of our Ottawa Hills CSA members, Jonie McIntire and her son Emerson have been enjoying their weekly veggie bags so much that they decided to start working at the farm. We appreciate all that our team members do to contribute in order to provide you with quality veggies and convenient pickup options.

Hooray!

After careful planning and LOTS of hard work in the fields, we are happy to report that we are looking at around 40 different offerings for the FIRST Fall/Winter Veggie Boxes including:


  • Celery
  • Brussel Sprouts
  • Broccoli
  • Turnip
  • Spaghetti Squash
  • Potatoes
  • Carrots
  • AND SO MUCH MORE... 


Fall/Winter Farm Shares are OH SO GOOD! We have found out over the last several years that most veggies are sweeter and more flavorful when the cold temperatures hit. TASTE THE DIFFERENCE!

NOTICE!! Your location times/days for your Fall/Winter Shares ARE DIFFERENT than the Summer Shares.

The Harvie Swap Page gives you full transparency to see exactly what you are paying for from RPFarm. 

It's imperative that you notice a couple of things. 

When you take items out of your "mini or base veggie share" you still have the opportunity to add items back into your box at "no charge".  

It is crucial that you look right under your selected items. A box will pop-up for you if/when there is  an options to add more veggies. (it will appear right "before" your extras) 

THE BOX LOOKS LIKE THIS: 



Sometimes for as-little-as 50 cents you can get an item that would cost you "full" price on the extra list. This ensures that you do not leave money in your cart. 

*There is NOT a charge for simply swapping, but charges WILL ACCRUE if you choose a higher dollar value when you swap.
