Important information for you:
VERY IMPORTANT: Check your preferences: your box will be automatically filled with the items YOU prefer. You can always change items out, but sometimes our veggies, especially, are limited so it is best to have your box filled with your preferences on the first pass. You can change your preferences at anytime throughout the season.
EVEN MORE IMPORTANT!! Customize: Once you receive this email, you can now customize your box. Customize your box by swapping and/or adding additional items you like from our ever-growing selection of high quality organic foods and products. You can swap or add in your Harvie account and your card will be charged upon finalization of your order. The customization window will open on Fridays and close at 7pm on Sunday.
Add another item to your cart: Your market box is like your grocery budget for the week. Check to see if you have "more value" left in your box by going to customization - click on your cart - then click back to the items. If you have left over value in your share, try adding another low cost item to your cart.

What we need from you: RETURN BOXES...
If you are getting a box delivered: Please remember to put your box out before your next delivery so the driver can take it back to the farm to be reused. Before returning your box (and other packing materials) for pick up - please remove your box label. Why? It saves Farmer Reuben and the crew much time :)
However..... please do SAVE YOUR LABEL if you are missing an item or something is unsatisfactory, Farmer Reuben and the team really do want to know about it. 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.)
** Please return any waxed boxes, green cartons, freezer bricks, and reflective box liners at the time of your next delivery or pick up.
