The farm is busy with lots of new veggies and herbs being harvested every week!
This week- Farmer Reuben says, "The basil is BEAUTIFUL!" We actually have THREE varieties for you this week to enjoy.
There is the familiar Green, Italian Basil, Purple Basil, and Cinnamon Basil. You can try one or you can try all three if you like. Add them to your box when you customize.
You will see SUMMER SQUASH again this week. Wasn't is great to get the first squash of the season in your box this past week? For those who love summer squash, you will be seeing squash a lot through the season!
We want you to know that when you add summer squash to your box, you may end up with the green variety OR the yellow variety. It will be a surprise depending on what we are harvesting at the time we are picking and packing for you. Either way, we know you will enjoy both kinds and yes, you can simply interchange them in most recipes that call for a specific type. When you come pick it at the farm, you can pick from whatever is available at the time.
Don't forget to check out all the farm-fresh extras that you can add to your box each week. We are always adding more!
This week: Feta Cheese, Organic Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves, Annika's Flower Bouquets, and ground beef are in stock.
Thank you for supporting your local farm.
We'll keep farming for you,
Reuben, Tessa, and the Farm Crew @ Willow Haven Farm
REMINDERS & TIPS :
Check your preferences: your box will be automatically filled with the vegetables that you prefer, or in the case of a Market Box, it will be filled with all of your preferences. 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 items in your box 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 and it will close at 12 noon on Thursday.
Add another item 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 or low cost item to 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.)
