Adoptions — One-shot — Reserve and pay for a harvest with a single delivery; the purchase includes delivery costs. See Adoptions with one delivery. Adoptions — Multi-shot — Reserve a harvest for a season and then schedule individual deliveries during the season; the adoption cost covers cultivation and reservation, and each shipment’s delivery costs are paid when scheduling the delivery. Local pickup purchases — For local experiences (e.g., pick-up from a farm/collection point), you can collect without delivery cost, or request home delivery for an additional fee. Farm visits & pick-your-own — With certain adoptions, customers can visit the farm and pick their own produce; coordination tools like wefarmyou.com are used for scheduling.
