Subscribing to the farm boxes delivery is a very convenient thing. Instead of a long and careful selection of products on the market or ordering them online, you can sign a contract with the farm once and get the freshest natural or organic products delivered to your home weekly or biweekly – the right amount at the right time.

How it works?

You choose the size of your basket and create a convenient delivery schedule, then go through the list of products and pick up those that you use constantly, for example, 2 pounds of hard cheese, 1 turkey, 0.5 liters of sour cream, 5 pounds of sweet potatoes, and 2 liters of milk. Put them “into the basket” once, coordinate the delivery schedule with the supplier, and don’t think about it anymore. You can also adjust the list of products you need, if necessary, by adding and replacing products in your basket in a few clicks online.

Farm-to-door food subscription is a modern trend

The food items we see on supermarket shelves are mostly processed factory products, although there are also offers from farmers there. But every time you get to the supermarket, you can’t be sure that today you will find the farm product you need. These items have a short shelf life and sell out quickly. This is especially true for organic products. Therefore, in order to constantly have fresh products at home, more people subscribe and get farm products on a regular basis. What do farmers offer first of all?

  • Dairy products;
  • Meat items;
  • Eggs of birds grown on natural pastures;
  • Artisanal olive oil;
  • Fish from natural reservoirs;
  • Organic vegetables and fruits;
  • Canned products;
  • Drinks based on fruits and vegetables;
  • Honey;
  • Handmade jams;
  • Baked goods;
  • Nuts and dried fruits.

READY HOMEMADE FOOD AND SEMI-PRODUCTS

For many, organizing a subscription to ready-made meals made from natural farm products is a great opportunity to get delicious homemade meals and not waste time preparing them. Farms offer a variety of dishes from fresh organic products in their assortment:

  • Homemade cakes, bread, tortilla;
  • Desserts and cheesecakes from freshly prepared cottage cheese;
  • Frozen ravioli and pizza;
  • Grilled vegetables;
  • All kinds of fruit drinks – juices, fruit drinks, lemonades, herbal teas, kombucha-based mixes;
  • Meat dishes – steaks, barbecue sausages.

A wide range of high-quality semi-finished products will help provide good nutrition for the whole family, even in the frantic pace of the modern world. Therefore, a subscription to farm food is especially relevant among residents of mega-cities.

MENU OPTIONS FOR EVERY LIFESTYLE

Farmers have developed a flexible system for the formation of ready-made farm baskets to meet requests for every taste and lifestyle, whether it’s a diet or sports menu. So, you can choose a ready-made menu according to your specific needs: gluten-free, vegetarian, hypoallergenic, for weight gain or weight loss. The hypoallergenic menu takes into account all the most stringent requirements due to the presence of a particular disease in a client. For each type of ready-made menu, there are also several variations for different tastes.

CONVENIENT SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS AND PAYMENT METHODS

Farmers have developed several subscription options, ranging from a monthly subscription to half a year and a year subscription. It is also possible to conclude an individual contract. When paying for a subscription, the client makes a partial prepayment or can immediately pay for the entire term of the contract in a conveniently accessible way – in cash or by bank card. Almost all farms have convenient websites and applications with visualized product cards and a payment form where you can easily pay for your order online.

As you know, in order to attract and retain clients, you need to get closer to them and find out what they want. Modern farmers take into account the tastes and preferences in the food of their customers – they conduct surveys and constantly work to expand the product line. Farmers make sure that you enjoy the products that were grown on farms and collected for your basket. You have the great possibility to personalize your shopping cart with each delivery and have the ability to view and edit the items in your shopping cart. Farmers offer the best seasonal products, discounts, and gifts for you to experiment with the contents of your farm crates.
