📍 Ordering & Pickup
Q: What happens if I miss my pickup?
A: Due to the perishable nature of produce, no-call no-show missed pickups cannot be stored indefinately. However, we strive to provide the best customer service possible and we understand that life happens. If you are running late or if something comes up, please contact us as soon as possible if an emergency arises.
🥬 Produce & Sourcing
Q: Where does your produce come from?
A: We source from a mix of local farms, regional suppliers, and ethical distributors depending on season and availability.
Q: Is the produce organic?
A: Some items may be organic, but not all. We prioritize affordability, freshness, and quality over labels.
Q: Will I always get the exact produce shown?
A: Typically, yes. But not always. Seasonal availability may require substitutions of equal or greater value.
🧠 Expectations & Transparency
Q: Are you a grocery store?
A: No. We are a community-focused nonprofit offering limited, rotating produce kits as grant funds allow.
Q: Is availability guaranteed every week?
A: No. Quantities, locations, and schedules vary based on sourcing, funding, and capacity.
Q: Are you still growing?
A: Very much so. We appreciate patience as we build something sustainable and community-centered.
🍽️ Recipes, Allergies & Dietary Needs
Q: Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
A: Recipes are designed to be flexible. Substitutions and alternatives are often included in the recipes.
Q: Are kits vegan or vegetarian?
A: Many recipes are vegetarian-friendly and all are easily adaptable.
Q: Can I customize my kit?
A: Not at this time, but we’re working toward more flexible options in the future.
📚 Food Education & Public Access
Q: Do I have to buy a kit to access recipes or meal plans?
A: No. Our food education resources are publicly available because everyone deserves access to knowledge.
Q: Why give recipes away for free?
A: Because SSF strongly believes that food education should never be paywalled.
