Delivery & ordering

How ordering works

Our order cycle runs on a weekly basis:

  1. Order online by Monday at midnight
    Browse what’s in season and choose exactly what you want. There are no subscriptions or long-term commitments.

  2. We pick your order fresh
    Your produce is picked and packed just for you so it has amazing flavor and stays fresh longer.

  3. Delivery or pickup on Wednesday
    You will get a message when it arrives.

Delivery & pickup options

Home delivery (Wednesdays)

We deliver within a 2-mile radius of downtown Decorah and a 2-mile radius of Freeport.

You do not need to be home. We will leave your order in a shaded spot and message you when it arrives.

We are also happy to deliver to workplaces.

If you are unsure whether you are in range, you can check on our online store or send us an email at carly(at)sweetseasonfarmiowa.com.

Free pickup (Wednesdays)

Pickup is always free.

You can choose:

  • Sweet Season Farm in Calmar, Iowa

  • Blazing Star Cafe in Decorah, Iowa

Just swing by between 3 and 6 p.m.

Reusable bags and coolers

Your order arrives in a sturdy, insulated reusable tote.

On your next order, you can leave the empty tote out and we will swap it for a full one. Many customers also choose to leave out a clean cooler and have us unload into that instead, so they don’t need to hang on to bags.

Both options work well. There are no deposits or complicated tracking systems. We aim to keep this simple and low-waste.

Order minimums and timing

Here are the main things to know:

  • Orders close Monday at midnight

  • Delivery and pickup happen on Wednesdays

  • Free delivery starts at $20

  • Pickup is always free

Substitutions and availability

Because we grow seasonally, harvest can be unpredictable.

We do our best to keep substitutions to a minimum.

If something you ordered is unavailable, we will reach out and ask if you would like a substitution or a refund. We will never swap something without checking with you first.

Quality and satisfaction guarantee

We care a lot about the quality of what we send out.

If something does not live up to your expectations, please let us know. We will gladly offer a refund or replacement.
