ALL BOXES WILL BE DELIVERED THURSDAY BY 3PM
that goes for homes & group sites! It may take us a few weeks to streamline the delivery route as the season starts, we appreciate your patience.
PLEASE RETURN YOUR BOXES!
Just unfold them gently and bring them to your site each week when you pickup your next share - we'll take it from there! Waxed boxes are reusable but NOT recyclable.
IF YOU ARE MISSING YOUR SHARE ON DELIVERY DAY
Call Molly (607-379-2866) or email right away. We'll make sure to get it to you! We keep extra boxes until Friday at noon, no later.
HOME DELIVERY
If you have instructions for where to leave your box please email me.
We cannot provide specific time estimates but you can expect a relatively consistent delivery time once we get into the rhythm of our route.
GROUP SITE DELIVERY
While most group sites offer pickup through Friday morning, they do not have refrigeration, pick up Thursday for the freshest share. Click below to see your sites hours & location:
