Deliveries Now Every 2 Weeks
We are switching to doing deliveries every 2 weeks and expect to continue this schedule through the winter and spring.
This may require a little more advance planning to keep your pantry stocked with veggies.
If you've been getting deliveries each week, you may want to consider getting double orders since it's now 2 weeks between deliveries. You can arrange to receive a regular delivery every 2 weeks or make sure to place your order on time (by the Monday night prior to delivery date).
Delivery Dates Order by
January 8-9 January 5

Keep Your Veggies From Freezing
Now that it's cold outside (below zero degrees, I need to ask you to think about how and where I should leave your delivery if you're not home, or if I should try come when you know you'll be home. If you have an enclosed porch, that should work if it'll be above zero in the porch. Or you can leave a cooler out with a bottle of hot/warm water in it. I can also leave your delivery with a neighbour.
I can't guarantee delivery at a certain time, but 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. Deliveries occur in the afternoon and evening.
Winter Storms / Power Outages
If there's ever a storm on delivery day and the roads are impassible, I expect that delivery days will just be pushed back a day or until the roads are passable. If there are power outages in rural PEI, please confirm your order via telephone, as I can't access email if there's no power.
