When Will I Get My Order?
How Our Weekly Harvest Schedule Affects Your Order
We follow a steady weekly production rhythm. We harvest microgreens and edible flowers on Thursday mornings, then begin local deliveries on Thursday afternoons and continue deliveries through Friday depending on route and location.
That means your delivery, or shipment, timing is not random. It is connected to when the crops are ready, when we harvest, and on what day your area is scheduled for deliveries. For these reasons, we do not have fresh produce available for pick up at our farm. Instead, we grow all of all of our crops according to our production schedule—so they're as fresh as possible when you get them!
When Local Delivery Orders Usually Arrive
If your order qualifies for local delivery, it will usually be delivered on the next route day for your area after harvest.
In general, Back Mountain, Falls, and Tunkhannock deliveries go out on Thursday afternoons. Clarks Summit, Scranton, Spring Brook Township, Pittston, West Pittston, Wilkes-Barre, Mountain Top, Nanticoke, and Kingston deliveries typically go out on Fridays.
If you order earlier in the week, especially on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, it is much easier for us to plan harvest quantities and packaging for your order. That helps the whole process run more smoothly.
When Shipped Orders Go Out — and What Ships Separately
If your order is being shipped, fresh microgreens and edible flowers typically leave the grow room on Thursday afternoons for Friday delivery.
Because these products are perishable, they do not ship the same way as everything else. Micros and flowers ship in insulated coolers via air shipment the same day as harvest so they arrive in the best possible condition. Shipping isn't cheap, but we can always custom quote shipping, so get in touch any time for help!
Other items may follow a different schedule:
- Merchandise is drop shipped according to the printer’s timeline.
- Chocolates usually ship on the next business day once stock is available, and
- Local chocolate deliveries still follow our usual Thursday and Friday route schedule.
Are You Eligible for Local Delivery?
Local delivery eligibility is based on your shipping address at checkout. If your zip code is in our current service area, you should see Local Delivery appear as a shipping option during checkout — keep in mind you may need to select this option over FedEx or UPS.
If you do not see the Local Delivery option, please don't assume the answer is no. Our routes expand, and we may simply need to add your zip code. If you're unsure, the best next step is to reach out and ask.
What To Know About Order Cutoffs, Special Requests, and Holiday Changes
For fresh microgreens and edible flowers, we ideally like orders placed by Wednesday afternoon so we can plan Thursday’s harvest well. In real life, cutoffs may depend on inventory and how close we are to your route day.
We do our best to accommodate special requests, but custom timing works best with advance notice. Weather, holidays, and other unusual weeks can also change the normal flow. When that happens, we communicate directly with you so you know what to expect.
Why Do Microgreens and Edible Flowers Need an Insulated Cooler?
It’s pretty simple. Microgreens and edible flowers are fresh-cut, perishable products. They do not love heat, they do not enjoy being left out, and they need to stay cool to arrive the way you expect. Whether your order is coming by local delivery or overnight shipment, a cooler helps protect the quality of your order.
What Is a Local Delivery Cooler Reminder?
When we text you a cooler reminder, we are not sending a random message. We are simply giving you a heads-up that your fresh-cut microgreens or edible flowers need a protected place to wait after delivery.
A common question we get is, "What is this?"
It is exactly what it sounds like: a reminder that there is a small action required on your part—setting out a cooler so we have a safe place to leave your order.
For local deliveries, we typically send that friendly reminder around 6:30 p.m. the evening prior to delivery.
If you are getting reminders you no longer need—or you would like to start receiving them—get in touch. We can easily adjust your reminder settings.
Why Should I Leave a Cooler Out for Porch Delivery?
Leaving a cooler out for local delivery helps protect your order from heat, cold snaps, and direct sun—the kind of conditions that can quickly affect fresh-cut greens.
It also helps us stay on schedule without having to guess whether someone will be available at the exact moment we arrive.
Whether you are working from home, out running errands, or tied up in the middle of something, that cooler gives your order a safe place to land until you can bring it inside.

Do Chocolates Need a Cooler Too?
Honestly, yes—it's a great idea.
Chocolate appreciates a cooler on a hot day just as much as fresh greens do. We all know what happens when a chocolate bar sits in a warm car for too long.
A cooler gives our chocolate a better chance of arriving in good shape, especially when the weather is warm or your order will be waiting outside for a bit.
It's a small step that helps protect something that does not handle heat well.
Why is it So Expensive to Ship Microgreens?
There are two main reasons shipping microgreens and edible flowers costs more than you might expect. The big picture is simple: these are perishable, fresh-cut products, so shipping them safely is different from shipping a shelf-stable item in a standard box.
Overnight Carrier
Microgreens and edible flowers need to move quickly, which is why we ship them overnight. In many areas, that means one-day ground service is an option. In others, the distance from our farm to you means air shipment is the only option.
When an air shipment is required, the cost is usually much higher than ground.
We are always happy to custom quote a shipment—just get in touch and ask.
If you are wondering more about timing, see When Will I Get My Order?.
Styrofoam Insulated Coolers
Microgreens and edible flowers require insulated styrofoam coolers, ice packs, and padding inside the cardboard box.
Are there less expensive packaging options? Sure. We could cut corners and use lighter insulation. But we don't think the gamble is worth it.
Protecting the order is part of protecting the experience. We would much rather package your order the right way than have it arrive limp, soggy, and disappointing.
The goal is simple: for your order to arrive fresh, protected, and ready for whatever comes next.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, the cooler is not the point—the quality of your order is. Whether we are leaving your microgreens on the porch or packing them for shipment, the cooler is one of the simplest ways to help your order stay fresh and protected until it gets into your hands.
If you need to adjust your cooler reminder settings, want help with local delivery, or have questions about shipping, get in touch.
