We want you to get the veggies you want.
We want you to be happy.
If you want to order a $20, $30, or $40 veggie box and/or anything else (see Produce lists below, other email, and/or the website), please reply by email or phone by Monday night.

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) Biweekly Delivery Reminders
Organic Veggie Delivery will be delivering every 2 weeks until later in the summer.
You can arrange a biweekly standing order for delivery of a Veggie Box or custom order.
