Frequently Asked Harvest Box Questions
Why does what you offer change weekly?
What we offer changes week to week based on what is growing, the weather and where we are at in the growing season. There will be certain staples that we may offer on a regular basis and others that will be offered only once or twice during the season.
Is everything in the Harvest Box grown in the garden?
Most things that we offer are grown in the garden. We occasionally supplement the harvest box with locally grown organic produce that we don't have space to grow, like corn for instance, or fruit that we pick at farms upstate, like cherries or blueberris!
When do you deliver? If delivery to my home won't work for me, can I pick up my Harvest Box instead?
We generally deliver the same day as our harvest on a chosen weekday, between 11am-2pm.
What do you deliver the Harvest Boxes in?
Harvest Boxes are delivered in plain recycled paper shopping bags.
Can I cancel my order or make substitutions?
You may cancel or alter an order 24 hours in advance. We prefer you not cancel or alter an order on the day it is to be delivered. Keep in mind we harvest as early as 6am on delivery days and can not accomodate late cancellations or changes.
How do I pay for my Harvest Box?
We offer a sliding scale for our harvest boxes. You can pay online for your Harvest Box online through PayPal or Venmo.
How can I add myself/someone else to your Free Harvest Box List?
We are currently building our community solidarity list of Bronx residents in need of free harvest boxes for the 2021 growing season (April-Novemver 2021).
How does the Sliding Scale Work?
We are offering both a sliding scale as well as a certain amount of free boxes for the entire 2020 season.
Who can get a Harvest Box?
We give priority to Bronx residents/families in need of community support in light of COVID-19 among other issues.
