We can assist with your original subscription order, account management, box Holds, Reschedules or Pauses, and answer your questions about box customization.
Purchasing
We crop plan with our farm partners in the spring so they can plan forward and make a wide variety of products available to you.
In addition to produce, we are continually onboarding new products, keeping inventory exciting, and making it possible to “Eat Local Year Round”!
Weekly our team receives availability lists from dozens of Maine farms and food producers, uploads this info on our sales platform, and creates the lists and labels that reflect orders customized to your liking.
Our partners at CSAWare, our farmbox ordering platform, are continually improving our sales platform that makes customization and conveniences available to you!
Receiving
Warehousing – keeping product fresh and harvested to order!
Packline – hand selecting your box, exactly to your liking!
Delivery – bringing the goods to a neighborhood near you!
Our team hand-packs each order at our Unity hub with care—no automation here! Your food is harvested to order, kept fresh, and delivered to your neighborhood by folks who love local food as much as you do.
