Hey all,
We are SO excited to be back! Things have been a bit laid back on the farm this past month, although there is still plenty going on. We just planted our first greens and have some adorable kale, chard, and broccoli starts ready to go out into the field. It has been unbelievably dry but we are looking forward to some rain this coming weekend.
Some highlights for the week are our gorgeous spinach bags and purple carrots. The flavor on both of these have been outstanding. We also have another round of AZ organic citrus coming in including blood oranges! They are my absolute fave.
You may not see me (Andrea) at pick up as our wonderful intern turned permanent staffer Autumn will be running pick ups this go round. This will allow me to focus on some more farm projects and get a few more things off the ground behind the scenes.
This rest of this email is going to be a bit lengthy as I brain dump all the info you need to hear, so please bare with me and read it carefully. You may want to bookmark this one for future reference.
Some Housekeeping Items:
Here is the help article on swapping out your share items. It goes over how to swap, when and why you may be charged for extras, and how to set your preferences. https://harvie.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001667414-How-Swaps-and-Extras-Work
I recommend checking out the Harvie University if you are getting hung up on anything or you can always email support at support@harvie.farm for specific website related questions or me on product related questions.
We do absolutely guarantee our products so if something is not up to par, please do not hesitate to reach out so that we can make it right.
For Pick up, please come armed with your reuse-able bag to transfer your produce into, we will have extras if you forget though! Or you can try to balance everything in your arms, up to you ;)
PLEASE NOTE:
We are committed to bringing you the freshest, most flavorful food possible. We are sourcing some products from Southern CA and AZ in addition to those grown on our farms. This will give you a good variety while still allowing you to support local farmers and small businesses.
We want to be as transparent as possible, you will see the source of each product located next to its name.
CA/AZ Organic - California/Arizona grown and organic
RBF CNG - From Rosebird Farms in Kingman AZ, which is Certified Naturally Grown (Organic for little guys like us)
Kingman - From local Kingman farms using organic practices but not certified
SNAP/Double Up Peeps: Keep in mind when you are customizing your basket. The items eligible for the 50% off are fresh fruits and veggies, dried beans, nuts, and fruit without added ingredients, and edible seeds and plant starts only. All other items (i.e. eggs, beef, bread) are still eligible for SNAP but will be 100% of the cost. When you arrive to pick up your box we will take your payment and record your details in our ledger. You can pay for up to two boxes at one time if you would like (current week and next week).
For farm stand orders: If you are paying with SNAP benefits please select "pay offline" you will need to pick up at West of Third as the government currently only allows us to accept payments at our brick and mortar location.
Thank you SO much for your continued support. We truly love delivering food that nourishes our bodies each week.
-Farmer Andrea
