Hey there! Wow, things are happening quickly on the farm right now. We started some of our first seeds of the year in the greenhouse this week and so life is now punctuated by nearly constant trips to the greenhouse to check on temperature. It's fun to feel spring coming. My wife MacKenzie is doing a great job of keeping instagram updated with our progress this spring. Feel free to follow along if you are not already. https://www.instagram.com/steelponyfarm/

Missing Items - we are putting processes in place and working fastidiously to make sure your order contains all of the items on your pick sheet. We still do make mistakes though, and hope that you will let us know about them so that we can give you a credit for any missed items. Please reach out to info@steelpony.ca to let us know about missed items.
Quality - if any items you receive from us are not up to your standards please let me know so that we have a chance to make things right for you.
Selection - as we are just getting up and running, it is becoming evident to me that we might not have all the items that we carry available every week. For example, there is a minimum order that we need to get dairy delivered so some weeks we may not have it available. Once our customer base goes back to it's normal level this summer I expect we will be able to order dairy each week.
Customization cut off time - you can customize your order until this Sunday at 7:00 pm
Setting preferences - if you haven't already set your preferences, doing so will help you to get the most out of this program. Here is information on setting your preferences - https://harvie.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021794754-How-do-preferences-work-
Home Delivery - if you have signed up for home delivery and don't expect to be home on Thursday afternoon you can leave a cooler out for us to put your order into. If the forecast is cold, putting a hot water bottle into your cooler will help to keep the chill off.
Missed pick ups - if you know in advance that you will not be able to make it to your pick up please reschedule or cancel your order through your Harvie account. Here is a how to on doing that. https://harvie.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001542514-How-to-skip-reschedule-or-change-a-delivery-location. You can make these changes until the customization cut off period on Sunday night at 7:00pm.
If after the cut off period you learn that you are not able to pick up, please let me know via email at mike@steelpony.ca or text at 403-506-3634. Please do not contact drop site hosts about missed pick ups.
Any orders that are not picked up 24 hours after the pick up window will be donated or used as we see fit in order to minimize waste.
Thanks so much for working with us to support the local economy, strengthen the local supply chain, and connect farmers and producers with eaters.
Enjoy!
Mike and the Steel Pony Farm crew
