CSA Season is Finally Here!
Welcome to your first week of delicious, local, farm fresh produce!! I know you're just as excited as we are here at Warner Farm! My name is Charlotte, your new CSA Manager. I've been working at Warner Farm for three years now, so I have probably met a lot of you at the pick up table! I'm thrilled to be back at the farm, and even happier to see so many returning and new members of our CSA family.
We've had a simply gorgeous spring so far, many days of bright, hot sun, and just enough days of rain to make all the sprouting crops strong and healthy. We have also been harvesting strawberries since Friday! That means if you're signed up for a fruit share, you will get some of the first strawberries of the season!
Here are some helpful tips for your first week of shares:
- Use a computer NOT a phone or tablet for customizing and avoid the Internet Explorer browser. The Harvie website sometimes has a few glitches when accessed on these devices. For the smoothest experience I heavily suggest accessing your Harvie account and customizing your share through a computer or laptop, with a browser like Chrome.
- To customize click the button in your email. You have 48 hours until the window closes to complete your customizations. You can swap things in and out of your box, OR add in extras beyond what you have already paid for! If you are having trouble customizing your order use this link for an in-depth explanation.
- If you received "credit" from one of our signup incentives, you will see it in your account as a positive "balance". This "Harvie Balance" should be visible on the customization screen and will be automatically used as soon as possible. This means, if you are on the payment plan, it will be applied to your share price the first week. If you paid in full, it will be applied the first time you add extra items to your share.
- If you find something missing from your share or forget to pick up your share REACH OUT TO US! If you don't pick up your share on your delivery day you will have 24 hours to contact me to arrange an alternative pick up. This could be a pick up at a different location, or we just send it again the next week with that weeks share! If you are missing an item from your box please contact me as well. I am more than happy to send a replacement item the next week, or give you a refund.
