Sustainable agriculture is a way of raising food that is healthy for consumers and animals, does not harm the environment, is humane for workers, respects animals, provides a fair wage to the farmer, and supports and enhances communities.

Food that has been grown using sustainable methods means your food is void of synthetic pesticides, artificial hormones, or antibiotics. Research reveals that prolonged exposure to pesticide residues may increase the risk of various cancers and neurological problems (such as Parkinson's disease), as well as impair the immune system.  Sustainable farming increases soil quality, worker safety and reduces toxic runoff; helping to create a sustainable food system that will provide nutritious food for many generations to come.

Best said by King Farm Family Market:

"We do apply organic practices but for us 'organic' is more than a business strategy or grocery product category.  It's a way of looking at the world and a guidepost to making daily decisions that mirror the natural law of living organisms with an emphasis on interdependence of all life."

4.  Where do we get our food?

We source our food from our local partner farmers and organic farms in neighboring regions to supplement our diversity.  All of our products will include their origin so you can decide how close to home is right for you.  

We are proud to support local, sustainable farmers and their seasonal efforts.  This means our supply may be limited or highly variable.  Please contact us if you do not see something you are looking for.  If we do not have it or cannot supply it we will help you find another source.

We package your purchase in an insulated reusable bag made from recycled material.  Inside your bag you will not only find your goodies but we may add a reusable ice pack to keep things cool (depending on what has been ordered).  The insulated bag helps sustain your delivery for up to 1 hour while it waits in a shaded area for you to arrive home.  You can also leave out a cooler for us to place your delivery in for added protection from the elements.

Your satisfaction is our guarantee.  We know our farmers supply us only the best they have to offer.  And we package in a way to maintain its integrity.  On the rare occasion you receive anything that may be unacceptable we will gladly credit your account.  Just give us a call or send us a message.  Credit cards are charged by Wednesday on the week following your delivery.  Please contact us before then so we may credit your account accordingly.

We strive to be as waste free as possible.  On your next scheduled delivery day please leave both the reusable bag and ice pack out for us to pick up.  We will reuse both the delivery bag and cold pack for future deliveries.   If you have decided to stop deliveries please send us an email or give us a call so we can arrange to pick up your bag on our next scheduled route.

We are making deliveries weekly.  You may login to your account for ordering from Tuesday morning through Thursday at noon of each week.  Anything in your cart on Thursday at noon (orders must be at least $25) will be delivered to you on Saturday of the same week.  We have easy shopping options like farmstand bags, which can be set for recurring orders.   Relax knowing we are taking care of you.  

11.  What if I am going to be away?

If you have a recurring order in the system, simply put us on hold until you are ready to begin receiving your orders again.  Order as few or as many times as you would like.

Never - this is what we do.  There is no added delivery fee.  We simply ask for a minimum order of $25.

No contract necessary here.  We only like commitments to good things like great food.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

15.  I received my delivery and some things were missing.  What to do?

We send out emails prior to your Saturday delivery listing the items that we did not receive and therefore would not have made it in your delivery.  Things may not come in as projected or may be rejected due to quality.  Your account will be credited accordingly for these items.  

Please contact us on the rare chance that you did not receive something that was not addressed in the email.  We will make arrangements to bring it to you or credit your account.
