Thank you for checking out our products! Below is a list of products we carry - typically you will see "featured products" right away that we have on special, and then a category tree on the side to browse specific products. If you're not logged in yet, clicking "add to order" will cause you to be redirected to a login screen - we require that you setup a customer profile before you can actually order. Once you've setup a customer profile, you can easily add items to either your current week order or your "recurring items" order using the delivery options dropdown - here is a quick overview:
Please take the time to read this, it will make your ordering experience more fun!
- Choosing "one time only" tells the system a couple of things:
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based
on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system
you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your
delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for
order changes hasn't passed already)
How do you tell if you have a current order for this week? When you click view/edit my order tab, you will see the products and table rows either have a white background (current week order) or a green background (recurring order items) - or it will say you have no order at all. The other way to easily tell is the header in the products listing on your order page will either say "Current order for 10/12/08" or it will say "Recurring order".
- If your delivery date has already passed this week, or your cut-off
time for editing orders has passed, then choosing this option will add
the item to your recurring order. The item will show up on your
next week order, and then be dropped automatically from the recurring
items you'd like to receive.
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based
on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system
you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your
delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for
order changes hasn't passed already)
- Choosing "every week" tells the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product each week.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or
cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring
order to be generated the next week, and will remain in your recurring
order each week until you take it out.
- Choosing "every other week odd" or even (the current week is
highlighted), will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product on the week of your choosing.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is odd or even of course), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
- Choosing "once per month" option will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product once per month (on the first delivery of each month you will receive the product).
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is the first order for you of the month), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
When you click "add to order" you will get a confirmation that the item was added to your order - you can view the order summary at any time by clicking the "view/edit" order tab. Happy ordering!
H.O.P.E. Eco-Farms (Aylmer, ON)
HOPE stands for Healthy Organic Produce Enterprises, and represents a brilliant form of cooperative organizing for sustainable growing. Upwards of 30 small scale organic farms in the Aylmer Amish community work together to grow and market their produce under one common brand through one collectively owned and operated warehouse. By working together, the community is able to grow a substantial amount of organic vegetables, even supplying some larger organic distributors. Each winter, they'll collectively decide on what to grow, to ensure that enough variety is grown and that there isn't an over abundance of any one vegetable.The beating heart of any of any produce warehouse is its walk-in cooler. Without refrigeration, the greens and veggies we love quickly spoil. As such, the beating heart of any produce warehouse is its walk-in cooler. HOPE's cooler is a technological marvel for both its sustainability and simplicity. At the centre of the cold room is a 2 story tower of ice made of carefully cut blocks from the purpose - built adjacent pond. One small diesel generator powers the industrial fans that draw the cool air from the ice room and propel it through the various chambers of the cooler, keep HOPEs wonderful kale, peppers and other greens at just the right temperature. By the time October rolls around, there isn't much left of the ice, but that's OK, because winter is just around the corner ready to make some more.
It really is a sight to see, horse-drawn wagon loads of beautiful organic produce fresh from the fields roll into the warehouse, get graded, cooled, and packed onto pallets for distribution out onto all the waiting trucks including ours. When things work well, it's a one stop shop for incredible quality and value organic produce. When things don't work so well, we find ourselves trucking on down the lane to find the growers' farm to get it direct!
