A couple of really fun things happening this week.
#1 We have a fun postcard in each box that is signed by 2 famous food growers…these are our modern-day rock stars….display them as you will! Collect them all and someday they will be worth tens and tens of cents.
#2 We often say that if you stay with us over the course of a season or two, you will DEFINITELY get your money’s worth. This week there is somewhere like 12-14 items in just the Mini alone!
Also, a random note about box sizes…sometimes the Base and the Full don’t necessarily get a bunch more “varieties”, they might just get more quantity of certain things…ex. The Mini got 2 peaches, the Base might get 4 etc.
#3 When we build boxes, we actually use a giant excel spreadsheet that we have developed over 8 years of buying food. (for spreadsheet nerds it goes out to column “CJ” and goes down to row “134”) Do we overanalyze it all? Most certainly! BUT, we want to make sure that EVERYONE gets EVERYTHING possible.
#4 We have never charged extra for fruit…most of the models we looked at when starting this company were building their orders around “up-charging” for fruit. I mention this because it looks like we have like at least 4 varieties of fruit in every size box this week…It’s expensive as you can imagine…if you like certain things, remember you can almost always get more buying it a-la-carte right here.
Another random side note about our online store. Because we buy food in real-time, we can only list stuff after we hear from the growers that we will have it available each week. Soooo, that means that if you don’t see something early in the week, check back on the weekends to see what else we have listed. We literally list new things on Sunday’s because we hear from someone that they are going to be harvesting that certain thing.
Y’all rock…From the depths of our hearts we thank you for shopping with us as much as you do…I know it’s not easy to plan a week ahead for your meals and yet here you are giving us your hard-earned $$’s. We NEVER take it for granted. As mentioned above, we pour over that spreadsheet to stretch every penny.
