Frequently Ask Questions
Generally speaking, baskets provide many advantages for both the producer and the consumer. It permits us to more easily control our production since we can determine more accurately what needs to be grown. This effectively means less waste, since otherwise we must often overproduce in order to satisfy everchanging demands. For you, the consumer, it means that we can provide you fruits and vegetables at a lower cost for a higher quality and freshness.
Baskets also help reduce the time spend at the grocery trying to figure out what to buy, while assuring that a healthy dose of fruits and vegetables is always available.
Why buy from us? Simple! Our baskets offer more flexibility and variety than most. You can choose a wide range of formats, and manipulate the dates when you will receive the basket. This means that if you know that you will go on vacation for two weeks during the summer, but are unsure when, then you can order a bit less baskets, and move their delivery period around based on how your schedule evolves.
In terms of variety, we produce a wide range of fruits and vegetables, and are well known for our strawberies and blueberries. You can be sure that your basket will always be diverse.

- During the season, if you decide to make certain modifications and have ordered online, you can shift your delivery weeks around, change which fruits or vegetables you no longer wish to receive or choose a new pick up location from within your account menu.
- The week before the delivery, you will be able to purchase additional products to your basket, including surpluses from our farm and other local producers. We will also offer products from bakers and the likes.
- On the day of delivery, we will bring you your order which you will then be able to transfer into another container. This is done an order to reduce waste from unecessary packaging. So don't forget to bring your bags or a box!
We will always try to include fruits with your vegetables. Varieties will vary based on the season. For a general idea of what you may receive, please take a look at our product page which list our main productions. However, we do produce much more, including lettuce, carrots, kale, onions, etc...
If you cannot pick up your basket on a given date and it is too late to change the week of delivery, you can send someone else to pick up your basket. To do so, phone us and give us the name of who will replace you.

Our website never has direct access to your credit card number. Since we do not store such values into our database, it is impossible for a hacker to be able to gain acces to them. However, if you decide to sign up for the automatised payment system, we do store an encrypted value that is derived from your CVD (but not your credit card number). This is in fact done to provide a basic layer of security to your profile, preventing someone who gains access to your account from instantly committing unwanted purchases.
In the case where someone does gain access to your acount, knows your CVD, and you have activated the automatised system, the worst that can occur is that the imposter purchases items to your name for you to pick up. In such circumstances, you simply need to contact us as soon as possible, we will cancel the unwanted orders and reset your account.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to answer them.
