Chicken is basically sold out until spring
This is typical around this time of the year. The farmers only have so much that they can cull, then freeze for the winter months. There are some backs & necks available for soupmaking, but that is about it.
Fermented krauts are available
These wonderful cabbage based ferments accompany any meal with a purposeful "live" addition. We currently stock four types: Traditional, Curtido (spicy Mexican influences), Garden (mild vegetable additions), and Garlic Ginger (flavorful Asian bouquet).
Ordering for weeks in advance
Did you know that you can use the website to order for weeks in advance? You can order up to 6 weeks in advance. On the ordering screen at the bottom left, the pick up date is listed. You can pull down that menu and select dates in advance. Each date requires a separate order. You are also welcome to make more than one order for a particular date. An example of what some folks find convenient is to place multiple standard orders in advance, and then on any given week, you can always add an additional order to get other items you may want. The farmers are helped by consistency and you have the freedom to add as your needs shift throughout the month. Hoping to offer anything that makes this process more convenient, as we are aware that stopping over weekly requires no small effort. We thank you for making the effort and prioritizing locally sourced fresh food.
Two confirmation emails means you placed two orders
When placing orders, pushing the confirm/submit button twice will create a double order. This can happen sometimes on a slow or dropped connection or for mobile devices. Please email us to alert us if you receive two confirmations and we'll delete the second order. It is not possible at this time for members to delete orders.
The easiest way to handle a late order?
Add the $5 late fee as an item to your order. If you missed the Sunday 12noon deadline, the system will automatically place your order for the following pick up date. If you are within a few hours of the deadline and still want to get an order in for this week, just place the order with the late fee. It signals us that you do indeed want the items for the current week and then there is no need for emails or requesting us to place orders. You can make sure your order is the way you want it and we'll know to move the date.
This system is only useful for the Sunday afternoon hours and does not apply for late evening or Monday orders as the farmer have already been contacted by then. Thank you. We strive to make the little things about this co-op easy, because we understand stopping over to see us once a week is no small thing in your busy schedules.
