FAQ

I live (insert place), and our nearest drop is miles away.  How many neighbors do I need to get signed up to get a drop in my neighborhood?

If you live close to the highway route between Ogden and Sandy… around 10.  Farther away from that path… around 15 or 20.  Gasoline and time spent driving are big expenses for the farm.

 How does pickup work?

David will have the food delivered to the drop locations by 3:00 on delivery days.  That’s for the farthest away locations — places closer to the farm will be delivered before that.  However, 3:00 is the guarantee, so barring accidents and incidents, that is when the food will be ready for pickup.  Please bring bags to take your produce home, or remember to return your box the following week.  Several boxes are kept in rotation with your name on them, but it makes it difficult for the staff to label boxes each week instead of just packing them with tasty veggies.  It also cuts down on farm costs to return bags and containers that are in good shape.

 Paypal is giving me fits.  Can I pay another way?

Certainly.  You can pay by check or money order, made payable to Zoe’s Natural Garden.  Please email zoesgardencsa@gmail.com for address to send it to.  It will need to be an up front payment, but we’ll waive the credit card processing fees included in the membership costs (roughly 2.5%).

How far a share goes in your kitchen depends on your cooking habits.  A small will feed two vegetarians with very little grocery shopping or a small family of omnivores with small trips to the grocery.  You can always check the blog tab above to see what’s included in all our past boxes to get an idea of sizes.
