Weights, Measures & Other Mumbo Jumbo
Weights & Measures: All weights are approximated. I do err on the heavy side when weighing or measuring quantities. I also like to move out as much fresh produce as possible, especially during times when I know there will be lots more tomorrow!
Washing Produce: Always wash your produce before eating, even if store-bought. I double wash all cut greens and single rinse most other vegetables and some herbs after harvest. Some things are too fragile (like head lettuce) or compact (like celery & cabbage) to wash thoroughly, so they will require further washing before eating. Anyway, better safe than sorry, Mom always says!
Allergen Legal Mumbo-jumbo: Produce is processed with equipment that also processes nuts (including peanuts), eggs, and dairy. Of course, all equipment is regularly cleaned and routinely sterilized, but the squirrels might bring nutshells into the gardens. Nutshells and eggshells are in the compost. Produce is grown outdoors in an uncontrolled environment. Better safe than sorry!
Delivery Legal Mumbo-jumbo: I know my customers are savvy enough to bring in their delivery as soon as possible, especially when it’s hot outside, and to let me know when they don't want a delivery (if auto-delivered). But I still need to say that I cannot be held responsible for spoilage or damage of any produce once it has been delivered. Savvy? (a little Johnny Depp there for ya).
