We need your orders by Friday noon! ๐๏ธ
Once we receive your orders by noon on Friday, we spend that Friday afternoon tallying and requesting the amount of produce we will need from our farms and producers. ๐
The requested items will arrive in our warehouse early the following week. We'll divvy it up and arrange to have your order(s) sent out to the respective pick-up locations and home delivery routes. ๐ฆ
***If you do not get your order in by Friday at noon, your items will not be requested from our farms that day. Orders received after noon will be lumped in with orders placed the following week... meaning you'll be waiting two weeks for your items.***

๐ short farm-to-table duration retains produce nutrition
YYC Growers' food reaches consumers in a shorter time span compared to most store-bought produce, which might seem simple but actually has big impacts.
Some things to keep in mind when deciding between supermarket or local:
๐ฑ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ: By minimizing the farm-to-table duration, YYC Growers ensures that the food retains its maximum nutritional content by the time it reaches your plate.
๐ฑ ๐๐๐๐ค ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ :Produce intended for long-distance shipping is often harvested early, which means it may not have reached its nutritional peak, which means missing out on the full spectrum of vitamins and minerals.
๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฌ: There is less need to use preservatives to maintain the shelf life of the produce. This results in food that is not only fresher but also free from unnecessary additives.
