📢🚨HOME DELIVERY CUSTOMERS, PLEASE READ ENTIRELY 🚨📢
We want to take a minute to give all of our home delivery customers an honest update about what is happening with deliveries.
When we first started offering home delivery, it was just us....loading up the vehicle, getting everything organized, and making the routes ourself. It didn’t take long before we completely outgrew what one person could reasonably handle, but we continued doing it as long as we could because we knew how important that service was to so many of you.
Then, through our website manager, we were connected with our current delivery partner. They got us onboarded, and honestly, it seemed like it was going to be a fabulous partnership. It opened the door for us to serve counties and communities that otherwise would have been very difficult for us to reach.
Unfortunately, we received some news a couple of days ago that changed everything.
Our delivery partner informed us that they would no longer be finding drivers for our routes and that it would become our responsibility to have drivers lined up.
I immediately went to work trying to find a solution. I had 18 people express interest in accepting routes on occasion and those individuals went through the onboarding process with the delivery team.
Since then, even more has unfolded, and ultimately, we are no longer going to be utilizing our current delivery provider.
That means, unfortunately, we are going to have to pause home delivery while we actively search for another delivery solution and new partners.
And I want you to know just how incredibly sad we are about this. 💔
We know that home delivery has become part of the routine for many of you. We know some of you live a considerable distance away. We know that having a box of milk, eggs, meat and other farm products brought right to your door has made shopping with us possible when otherwise it may not have been.
We are not giving up on finding another option.
But in the meantime, we are also incredibly hopeful about one major change we've made a couple weeks back before we knew any of this was changing....
Herd and Harvest Market by McFadyen Manor Homestead is now OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK! 🎉
We truly hope that being open every day will give those of you who have relied on delivery more opportunities to make the trip to the store—even if that drive is a little longer than ideal.
And remember: our milk keeps for TWO WEEKS.🥛
At one point, we had quite a few customers on bi-weekly delivery schedules, and we never heard of anyone having an issue with their milk lasting until the next delivery.
So while we know this isn't the same as having groceries arrive at your doorstep, we really do feel confident that many of our customers can find a couple of times each month to make the trip, stock up, and take home everything they need.
And we promise—we are actively looking for other delivery options, drivers and potential partners. The moment we have something solid to share, you will hear it from us first.
To everyone who has supported our delivery program from the very beginning: THANK YOU. ❤️
Thank you for trusting us to put real farm food in your refrigerator. Thank you for sticking with us as we've grown, changed, learned, and figured things out along the way.
We are disappointed that things have panned out this way with our delivery provide, but we are not defeated.
We're going to keep looking for a way to serve you.🐄🥛🥚🥩
And if you have questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, or know of a potential delivery solution that might work for a small farm like ours please reach out. We are absolutely open to talking.
We appreciate your patience, your understanding, and most of all, your continued support of our little farm. ❤️
We wouldn't be here without y'all.
