HI FRIENDS
WE'RE BACK!
We are so very excited to start our CSA back up and get you the food you have been missing. We are working with some awesome new farmers this season and have some cool new things planned.
Check out the newsletter image for our goings on!
I am attaching our previous things you should know email in case you missed it or you signed up in the last week. Sorry if you already received this, its a long one I know!
I wanted to send a quick message to give you everything you need to know for this season. I am so excited to share our food with you.
BUCKLE UP THIS IS A LONG ONE! The things that are highlighted are very important so please read them... they are issues we have come across once or twice in the past ;)
If you receive anything that is damaged or missing please notify us immediately. We have several Quality checks in place but sometimes things will slip under our radar. We are always happy to make it right.
Deliveries will be on Fridays with a few exceptions but I will follow up if it pertains to you.
It might be a good idea to set up a calendar reminder too!
If you haven't done so already I recommend going into your profile page and setting up your vegetable preferences. Otherwise, you can expect an email every Friday before your scheduled delivery to give you a reminder and an opportunity to customize that week's box.
We have changed our schedule a bit in order to accommodate the schedules of some of the new farms we are working with!. Availability emails will go out on Fridays (look for the first one this week!) and you will have until Sunday night to customize. We will harvest what we have according to your choices and then pack them and have everything ready for pick up on Thursday or Friday delivery.
Each item in Harvie will be labeled with certification (Certified Naturally Grown or Certified Organic) and farm origin. It is all up to the standard you have come to know and love and the flavor is really phenomenal.
For home delivery people: please, leave a clean cooler outside of your front door for us to leave your share in. It would probably be best to add an ice pack or two as well and leave it in a shady spot. Our delivery drivers have a full schedule and will try to be in and out quickly. If you would like to purchase a liviri cooler with ice packs from us please shoot us a message. They are super insulated and can hold temps for 12 hrs.
For pickup peeps: I will have your boxes stacked and ready at West of Third at 3-6pm on Thursdays. Each box will be labeled with your name. There may be multiple shares per box so only take the side of the partition your label is on and double-check your provided list with the items in case we missed anything. Don't be afraid to ask questions, we're there to help :) Please bring a clean re-usable bag to transfer your produce into.
EBT/SNAP: If you haven't sent me an email (or spoken to me directly) saying that you will be taking advantage of our 50% off shares, please shoot me an email so I can get you set up in the system correctly and send you a few program guidelines. When customizing your share you are only able to select produce, edible plant starts, dried chiles, or seeds, nuts, and beans with no added ingredients. All other items are ineligible for the 50% off. I will have to manually adjust your share if your box contains anything else such as eggs, meat, etc. These items are still able to be paid with SNAP EBT but will cost the regular amount.

Excited to see you all soon!
