The number one question from new farm members is this: “How do I customize my Market Box?” The last thing a new member wants is to sign up for a box of food that they won’t be able to use. I can promise that won’t happen because you are never locked in to a market box that you don’t have an opportunity to customize. Including your very first box.
I want you to quickly become a master at customizing so that every box you get is perfect for you.
This video explains the first steps for a new member and new tips and tricks that experienced farm members really appreciate.
WEEKLY HARVEST CALENDAR – I suggest tweaking your preferences for upcoming veggies a couple weeks before you see them appear on this Harvest Calendar.
VEGGIE & FRUIT HARVEST CALENDARS – I suggest printing the two calendars you’ll find on page 9 and 10.
