Are Organic-Now vegetables organic?
Yes, Organic-Now provides 100% California-certified
organic and USDA-certified organic vegetables. All of our produce
comes from a local, 260-acre, woman-owned family farm.
Are your fruits organic as well?
Yes!
Are Organic-Now vegetables grown locally?
Yes, all Organic-Now vegetables and
fruit are grown in Northern California and brought to you directly from
the farm within hours of being harvested.
Do the shares contain heirloom varieties?
Yes! Organic-Now shares include many
heirloom varieties of vegetables including tomatoes, garlic, and cucumbers.
What is the quantity of food in a share?
The quantity changes some from week
to week depending on the weather and the harvest, although generally
the shares contain 5-7 different types of vegetables and fruit. Shares
are designed to feed 2 to 3 adults who love vegetables, or a family
with small children. Vegetarian families or families with 3 or 4 serious
appetites for veggies often get two shares per household.
Do I get to choose what is in my box?
In short, no. Each week our farmer
packs the very best of her crop. It's always a fun surprise to see what
shows up! And you can check our website the week before to preview your
share.
How do the add-ons work?
Organic-Now offers several additions
you can add to your box. Currently, we have an egg addition, pickle addition, and organic bread addition. You can try an addition just once, or add it to your order!
How are Organic-Now crops delivered
to me?
Organic-Now delivers crops packed in
wax-coated boxes to your doorstep. Please put the used box outside your door the following week for pick up. We reuse them!
When are deliveries made?
Organic-Now deliveries are made once
per week during each 12 week season year round. Deliveries are made
between 8 AM and 8 PM. The day of delivery depends on where you live.
Do I need to be home to receive a delivery?
No one needs to be home to receive
an Organic-Now delivery, but please understand that the boxes are not
marked with members' names or addresses unless requested.
Can I suspend deliveries during the
season if I go on vacation?
We are able to suspend your deliveries
during vacation weeks with a little advance notice, although payment
is for the entire season regardless of missed weeks because our farmers
need the funds to buy seed and operate the farms. Members can donate
the weeks they miss to a local food pantry. We make all the arrangements
and deliver the food; the recipients are always grateful for fresh food.
Please let us know by Monday before delivery if you would like
your delivery suspended.
Can I become a member of Organic-Now
after the season starts?
Yes! We can pro-rate the cost of your
share.
How long is my membership?
Our members order by the season (12 weeks) for $300. You can start at any time. Members can buy by the season, or buy an entire year at one time. You can also send us post-dated checks for each month if you prefer.
Where do I send my check?
Our mailing address is 633 E. 22nd Street,
Oakland, CA 94606
Can I pay with a credit card?
Yes. Credit card payment is accepted
through the website.
