Hey there! With the warmer weather some of our big mud puddles are starting to dry up and this place is almost starting to look like a garden again. When I stand in our 8 acre vegetable garden I can begin to imagine this big patch of soil waking up from a long winter sleep and producing an amazing bounty of veggies this summer. I'm excited that you are along for the ride and grateful for your investment in local agriculture.

Missing Items - I'm starting to feel pretty confident that our packing process will minimize our packing errors. Last week was the first week that we didn't hear about any packing errors - though I did hear about one this week. Even when we double check each box there are still going to be the odd error. Please let us know about these errors 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.
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 - and even if you haven't done so recently - 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.
