2O24 CARTWHEEL PRODUCE DELIVERIES
This is our 1Oth season harvesting the best of what our fields have to offer and delivering it directly to our customers. Each week, we hand pick a good variety of vegetables for you. Deliveries may also include herbs and, on occaision, fruit. As the season unfolds and what is growing changes, so does the selection. Deliveries come with fun, easy recipes for inspiration and a note from the field. Signing up for the season is a way to support our farm and get a better value for your money.

Natural Questions
What if I have a food allergy… or very strong dislike?
We cannot fully customise orders to taste, but we know that people eat for their own health. During the registration process, you will be asked if you have allergies or produce that you don’t want to receive. We do our best to substitute any unwanted items with alternatives that complements the rest of the delivery
What if I am away or don’t need a week’s veggies?
We understand! We offer the option to skip a week and then double up later on. We can also arrange to have your delivery made to a neighbour. Donating the worth of your delivery to our Sharing Fund is another option. This helps us to flow food to where there is need in the community. We ask that you let us know at least 3 days in advance. Filling out the simple form on our website or sending an email is all we need to start planning with you.
What if I decide to cancel mid-season?
We are in this together. At Cartwheel Farm we don’t just grow food. We grow food for you. We can plan for the season, plant, tend, and harvest knowing that what we grow will go from our fields to your table. Our commitment to you is a full season of produce. Your commitment to us is a full season of patronage.
We have only had a handful of mid-season cancellations since starting our delivery program. Our cancellation policy considers 25% of your payment to be a non-refundable deposit, which we may keep if you choose to cancel.
Policy aside, we appreciate your support and understand that life happens. We always do our best to accommodate individual circumstances.
