While many of our members saw the first of their veggie shares on Saturday, some of you are getting your first share this weekend.
We know you will love all the farm-fresh veggies that are on their way to you.
Here are the things you need to know to get the most out of your veggie share experience with us. I know, those of you who are on week 2 have already seen this information...but it is always a good reminder!
TIPS for the first box:
Check your preferences: your box will be automatically filled with the vegetables you prefer. You can always swap items out, but sometimes our swaps are limited so it is best to have your box filled with your preferences on the first pass. You can even change your preferences throughout the season.
Customize: Once you receive this email, you can now customize your box. Swap veggies and add extra items you like from our ever-growing selection of high quality organic foods and products. Simply add them to your box and your card will be charged upon finalization of your order. The customization window will open on Wednesday morning (or Tuesday evening if we have it ready) and it will close at 12pm on Thursday afternoon.
Add another veggie to your cart: Check to see if you have "more value" left in your share by going to customization - click on your cart - then click back to the items. If a green bar appears that says you can add items because you have left over value in your share, try adding another veggie your cart to see.
Boxes and labels: Before returning your box (and other packing materials) for pick up - please remove your box label. SAVE YOUR LABEL if you are missing an item or something is unsatisfactory. Sending us a picture of your label will help us diagnose our error in the pack line and make improvements. (You can discard your labels afterward.)
If you are coming to the farm for pick up- bring your own bag or box along to carry your items.
Thank you for choosing Willow Haven for your organic veggies and other grocery needs. We are thrilled that you have chosen to partner with us. With us, you will always know exactly where your food is coming from!
We'll keep farming for you!
