Will CSA Shares be Home Delivered in 2018?

Yes, we are home delivering all CSA shares to our Peoria or Naperville delivery areas.

What Day is Home Delivery?

CSA delivery day is Thursday. Each delivery area (Peoria and Naperville) receives a delivery every other Thursday.

When do the 2018 CSA shares begin?

Peoria and Surrounding area: Thursday, June 7

Naperville and Surrounding area: Thursday, June 14

How Often are CSA Shares Delivered?

* Vegetable Shares – every other week, unless custom share

* Egg Shares – every other week, unless custom share

* Meat Shares – once per month, unless custom share

What is a Custom Share?

Custom Egg and Vegetable Shares let the customer choose the delivery weeks for their food. Weeks are chosen from the pre-scheduled delivery weeks for your area.

Custom Meat Shares let the customer choose the delivery month for their food.

Will I Receive a Reminder about the CSA Delivery?

Yes, delivery reminders are emailed Wednesday afternoon to those receiving a delivery the following day.

What Time Will I Receive My Delivery?

Delivery time will most likely change each time so we are unable to quote a specific time. It depends on how many deliveries we have that particular Thursday and where they are located.

Do I Have to Be Home for the Delivery?

No, you do not have to be home but PLEASE LEAVE A COOLER and ice packs for the food. If you have a garage refrigerator or other specifics, we are happy to place the food where it will keep best until you arrive home.

What if I Have to Miss a CSA Delivery?

Make sure you receive a confirmation for your cancellation.

You can make up the missed food in another delivery week. Any of this communication can be done through email, text or phone.

What Size Cooler Do I Need?

Vegetable Share: At least 32 qt. cooler

Egg Share: At least 3 qt. cooler per dozen eggs

Meat Share: At least 30 qt. cooler

Vegetable and Egg Combination: At least 35 qt. cooler

Meat, Vegetable, Egg Combination: At least 65 qt. cooler

Do I Need Ice or Cold Packs in My Cooler?

Frozen cold packs would be helpful for the eggs and vegetables. We discourage a bag of ice as it melts and may leave your food (think about the eggs) possibly in standing water.

All meat and Salmon is delivered frozen.

Can I Purchase Other Items for Home Delivery

Yes, you can use our Online Stores to add items to your delivery including a Vegetable Box, Eggs, Meat, Salmon and more.

Can I Purchase Other Items if I Don’t Have a CSA Delivery?

Yes! If you are not receiving a CSA delivery that particular week, we just ask you to meet the minimum order which is currently $25.
