Hey guys, it is just way to hot to keep most of your fruit and veggies outside of the fridge. Especially all of your stone fruits, they will spoil too fast if you keep them in a pretty bowl on your counter!

VEGGIES: lettuce, armanian cucumber, zucchini, mixed greens, tomatoes, basil, mint, carrots, onions

FRUIT: grapes, oranges, peaches, nectarines, avocado

REMEMBER RANCHO BERNARDO that you are changing drop sites next week to the Stone Brewery! Its right about on happy hour on Friday… good times had by all!

Stone Brewery Company

1999 Citracado Prkwy

Hours of pick up will be between 5-6pm. Thank you so much for your support. If you have any questions please feel free to call or e-mail me. See you tomorrow in RB.



Vacation Mode

Hey guys, I know its Summertime and beautiful… so this is a reminder of how we deal with weeks you can’t pick your box up.

We now require that you give us 72 hours advance notice if you will not be able to pick up your box. This is because we plan the number of boxes a few days ahead, accounting for harvest time, transportation and all sorts of other logistics it takes to get these boxes together. When we are receiving last minute calls that you can’t make it, we’ve usually begun or finished assembling your box. If you can’t pick up your box and nobody can get it for you and you do not give us 72 hours notice, your box will be donated and you will not receive a refund for that missed week.

If you give us 72 hours notice that you don’t want a box that week, that is great. We will not make you a box and give you an extra week on the end of your contract. There is, however, a limit on how many times you can skip a week without it affecting your contract… here they are:

If you pledge monthly you can miss one week.

If you pledge quarterly you can miss two weeks.

If you pledge annually you can miss four weeks.

Really on the most basic level, there are three people running the GOE show and when dozens of people all summer want weeks off, extended contracts and whatnot, it turns in to a bit of a logistical nightmare. We’re trying to keep it simple :)

Alright, enough for now. Feel free to ask us if you have any questions regarding this stuff! See you this week!
