Please let me know if you'd like any substitutions.
I can usually accommodate substitutions or additions.
If you'd rather place a custom order for particular items you want, that's fine too.
If you want to order a $20, $30, or $40 veggie box and/or anything else (see list below and other email), please reply by email or phone by Monday night. You can sign up to receive a veggie box every two weeks and/or you can just order by Monday night for Thursday/Friday delivery.
(Late orders may or may not be filled.)
I generally send out an email update on Thursday or Friday of the week before deliveries. You can mark your calendar if you could use a reminder to place your order on time.
If it is your first time ordering, please provide your location, address, street (or route #), civic #, apartment #, directions, phone #, cell phone #, email address, and what you'd like to order. Deliveries generally occur in the late afternoon and evening. I can't guarantee delivery at a certain time, so please let me know where to leave it if you're not home and how payment will be arranged. If I know in advance, I can try to deliver to you before, after, or near a certain time if you know when you'll be home.
C) Veggie Deliveries Every 2 Weeks
Later in the summer, I expect to start delivering weekly, but for now it's just every 2 weeks.
