NOTE: There was a mishap yesterday. Our WW Homestead products come through Iowa Choice Harvest’s plant in Marshalltown. It gets picked up there and is brought to us by Farm Table Delivery Service. When loading the product, three crates of milk (12 gallons total) fell and broke, which means some folks who ordered milk aren’t going to get the product. Things like this happen, and not much can be done at this point. If you end up being affected, we are sorry for the inconvenience.

NOTE: Our butter/heavy cream from Hansen Dairy never made it to us this cycle. Transporting our dairy from NE IA has been a bit of a challenge in recent cycles, and we learned Tuesday that because of issues with timing we weren’t going to be able to get the Hansen Dairy product delivered. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Note #1: Ankeny pick up will be in the parking lot of Ankeny Sanitation, which is just west of First Family Church (which has their Vacation Bible School today). Look for a white pop-up tent!

Note #2: Prairie Landscapes will be selling various native Iowa prairie plants and wildflowers at our Franklin space from 4-7p during distribution. It’s the perfect time to add a pollinator planting to your yard or garden!

Note #3. Pickle Creek Herbs will be set up at our Osceola location (Timber Ridge Country Market) during distribution to sample items made with their herb-infused olive oils and vinegar. Meet Jocelyn, the ‘Pickle Creek Girl’ and learn how to add more local flavor to your food!

Note #4. We got a call from Beaver Creek Produce saying they had a greenhouse malfunction that caused them to be unable to fill their orders, so their products have been outed in the software.

Anyway, thanks for your orders. See you later today or Saturday.

NOTE: We ran into an issue this cycle with our attempt to offer asparagus. We ordered 80 lbs from Prairie Rose Acres through Farm Table Delivery Service. Turns out cooler temps slowed harvest and we only got 25 lbs.

We were able to substitute asparagus from Maxwell Farms of State Center, but the bed was treated with a product prior to the growing season to control broad leaf weeds.

Rather than assume this was fine, we are going to give folks the option of accepting the substitute product at pickup. It seems like the right thing to do.

Anyway, thanks for your orders. See you later today or Saturday.
