Nope. We will deliver your order in a cardboard box. Just tell us a safe and shady spot to leave your order. To maintain freshness, we recommend leaving a cooler out with a few ice packs for us to transfer perishables like lettuce, milk, etc.
Usually. We recommend that you be at home to receive delivery if you live in an apartment. If you are not able to be home, try to arrange for someone in your building to accept delivery for you like a neighbour or building office staff.
Please note that we currently practice no-contact deliveries. Our drivers cannot bring the order to your door. They will leave the box in the lobby.

Yes. Orders can be picked up from our warehouse on Fridays between 7:00am-3:00pm. We are located at 5A-149 Bentley Ave. Give us a call when you arrive and we will bring the order out to you.
We encourage you to share your preferences with us. After you log-in, choose “my preferences” and let us know what you never want to receive, what you sometimes want to receive, and what you often want to receive. If our weekly box includes something you never want, we will substitute it with something else or an extra quantity of a fruit or vegetable that you prefer.
Substitution options are limited. You can customize “your preferences” so you never receive anything you don’t like. If you have special requests, tell us when you order and we’ll try our best to accommodate.
If you need to order extra fruits or vegetables for a party or you just want to stock up, you can place an additional order through our website by Tuesday at noon.
Our produce is always certified organic. Just about everything else is made with certified organic ingredients. Some of products we offer contain non-organic ingredients. The product description will always clearly indicate if there are non-organic ingredients.
We try very hard to procure everything as locally or regionally as possible. During the growing season, we work with local, certified organic farmers and include as much as we can in our fruit and vegetable box. All year around, we offer locally made bread and baked goods from Ottawa’s Wild Oat Bakery and Nat;s Bread. We also carry Equator coffee, roasted down the road in Almonte, Ontario.
Your order is usually delivered within a day or two of arriving in our warehouse from our suppliers. During the growing season, some of our produce is picked the day of your delivery! All of the bread from Wild Oat Bakery and Nat’s Bread is baked the same day as your delivery.
Yes. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy with the quality of anything in your delivery, send us an email or give us a call and tell us what went wrong and we’ll refund your money.
If you’re not at home to receive your delivery, we recommend taking some extra steps to protect your basket:
- Leave a cooler out, we’ll transfer the contents into it. This will keep keep your basket from freezing for a while. 39L coolers are usually a good fit for a small to medium basket.
- Leave a pillow or blanket in an empty tote, and we’ll use it to insulate the basket we deliver.
- If you have a mudroom or garage, leave it unlocked and we’ll tuck inside away from the elements.
- Arrange for a neighbour to receive your delivery
The basket is delivered in a cardboard box or we will transfer your basket into your cooler.
