| How does Farm Fresh To You's organic produce delivery service work? |
We bring fresh, seasonal organic produce directly from our farm right to your doorstep. You are able to choose the Box Type, Size and Delivery Frequency that best fits your lifestyle, and family or office size. Each delivery comes packed with news from your farmer, recipes, produce tips and details on upcoming farm events. We preselect the contents of your box in accordance with the season's best mix of organic produce for your Box Type and Size. Online, log in to your account online to modify your preferences, such as excluding items you would rather not receive in your box. There is no commitment -- you can change or suspend your service to fit your schedule or vacations.

|
| What does "CSA" mean? |
| CSA is an acronym for "Community-Supported Agriculture," a program where community members support a local farm by signing up to buy produce directly from that farm on a regular basis. While most CSAs deliver through centralized drop-off points our CSA, Farm Fresh To You, delivers directly to homes and offices.
|
| |
| How do I get started? |
| Check to see if we deliver to your neighborhood by entering your zip code here. Specify if you are requesting a home or office delivery. In the sign up process you'll be able to create an account, enter your delivery information and select the Box Type, Size and Delivery Frequency that best fits your needs. |
| |
| Where does the produce in the Farm Fresh To You box come from? |
We bring the season's best mix of local, organic produce to your door by growing and partnering with trusted organic farms in your area. View the growing location of the produce in your box by entering your delivery zip code and selecting your box type and size from the drop down menu here.
Farming organically since 1976, we currently grow more than 60 types and 130 varieties of produce on our Capay Organic farms in northern (Capay Valley) and southern (Imperial Valley) California. During the summer months, over 80% of the produce going into our boxes comes from our farms. Organic produce is first sourced from our farm, then from neighboring farms, then with emphasis placed on being as regional and local as possible. Our Valley box services (northern and southern California versions) are our most traditional and local CSA options, containing only produce directly from our farms in the region and neighboring farm partners. |
| |
| Is everything organic? |
| You can trust that 100% of the produce arriving in your box is certified organic from our farm and our trusted farm partners. Our farm, Capay Organic has been growing organically since 1976 and is proud to be third-party certified organic by CCOF. In addition to our organic certification, our produce is grown in a sustainable farming system that nourishes a healthy ecosystem and cares for our environment. |
| |
| Is your produce GMO-free? What about your seeds? |
| Yes. Absolutely all of our seeds and produce are non-GMO (not genetically modified). We believe that growing GMO-free is a very important component of our organic certification and are proud to be third-party certified organic by CCOF. |
| |
| Can I view what's coming in my box? |
| Yes. On Thursdays at noon, we post the box contents for the following week's deliveries. View contents by entering your delivery zip code and selecting your box type and size from the drop down menu here.
|
| |
| What size box should I order? |
We recommend visiting our Box Contents page to get a sense of our seasonal box contents for each Box Type and Size. While it can be hard to recommend a size as different families have different eating and cooking habits, we often find that a family of 2-4 enjoys the Regular size at $31.50 delivered every week or every other week.
Tip! You can change your service as your needs change. Please remember: we need to receive all changes to your service (either in your account online or by calling/emailing us) by 10 a.m., 2 days prior to your next scheduled delivery. |
| |
| How frequently should I receive a delivery? |
| The majority of our customers get a box every week or every other week as their main weekly source of fruits and vegetables (rather than going to the grocery store). You can also choose to get a delivery every three weeks or every four weeks. You can change your delivery frequency as your needs change. |
| |
| When is the cut-off time for making changes to my service / box type? |
As we need time to harvest and prepare for the packing and delivery of your box, we need to receive all changes to your service by 10 a.m., 2 days before your next scheduled delivery day. Changes to your service can be made in your account online or by contacting us via phone, voice message or email.
Examples:
- If your delivery day is Thursday, changes to your upcoming delivery must be made by Tuesday at 10 a.m.
- If your delivery day is Tuesday, changes to your upcoming delivery must be made by Sunday at 10 a.m.
Please don't hesitate to give us a call if you'd like help coordinating changes to your account or have questions. |
| |
| What if I am allergic or do not like certain items? |
| You can ask that we exclude certain produce items from your box by logging in to your account online and marking items you would prefer not to receive on the Exclusion List page. If an item on your Exclusion List is scheduled for your box, we will automatically provide an alternate item, typically substituting a fruit for a fruit and a vegetable for a vegetable. |
| |
| What if I receive an item in my delivery that I am not satisfied with? |
| As fresh produce is delicate in nature, we do our best to properly pack items for the journey from our farm to your door. If you receive produce that is damaged, or find an item missing from your order, please contact us immediately and we will make it right. Quality produce and outstanding customer service are of utmost importance to us. |
| |
| What if I need to leave for vacation?
|
| You can change or suspend your service to fit your schedule or vacations by contacting us by 10 a.m., 2 days before your next scheduled delivery day. |
| |

| No, we do not apply a delivery charge. The delivery of fresh produce to your door is included in the price of your box. |

| When does my box get delivered? |
Your delivery schedule depends on your geographic location and whether you receive a home or office delivery. Check the delivery day for your zip code here. Your box will be delivered on this day of the week and will continue on your chosen frequency (example: every other week).

| Why can't I pick my delivery day and time? |
| We deliver to certain areas on certain days to minimize the environmental impact and optimize our routes so that your fresh produce arrives at its best. |

ACCOUNT INFO |
| How am I billed for the box? |
| Customers are required to have a credit card or debit card on file within 14 days of signing up for the service. For your convenience we accept Visa, Mastercard and Farm Fresh To You Gift Cards as payment options. Accounts are billed monthly and include all deliveries processed within your billing period. |
| |
| Can I give someone your service as a gift? |
Yes, thank you for thinking of us for your gift-giving! The first step is to make sure that we deliver to your recipient's neighborhood by checking their zip code here. There are two ways to give the gift of organic fruits and veggies with Farm Fresh To You:
1) a Gift Card whereby you specify the amount (minimum of $25, maximum of $250) and your gift recipient creates their own account when they are ready.
2) a Sponsor Account whereby you will be the responsible billing party for an ongoing gift service. This option can be useful for customers who wish to have a produce box delivered to a child away at college or an elderly parent.
Please contact us to set up and learn more about gift accounts. |

| I received a gift card. How do I redeem? |
| Gift cards can be easily redeemed online or by calling Customer Service. To redeem online, begin the sign up process and select "Gift Card" as the payment option. You'll be able to create a secure account and password where you can choose your Box Type, Size and Delivery Frequency and provide your delivery information. As your gift card approaches a zero balance, you can log in to your account online and provide an alternate payment option to continue receiving produce deliveries.

| |
| How do I suspend or cancel my deliveries? |
There is no commitment and you can suspend or cancel your service by contacting us at 1.800.796.6009 by 10 a.m., 2 days prior to your next scheduled delivery day so we can properly process your account. This cancellation lead time is needed so we don't begin preparing for the harvest and delivery of your box. A late charge of $5.00 may apply if box cancellations are made to your service after this time.
If you wish to suspend or hold your deliveries, instead of cancelling, you can also set a "vacation hold" in your account online. As we have some seasonal customers, we have made it easy to reactivate service by logging into your account online with the email and secure password you have on file at the time of close/hold. Be sure to visit your Excluded Items page to make any changes to your preferences.
