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 email you when it arrives.

We are also happy to deliver to workplaces. Just let us know where to leave it and if there are specific hours to consider. (i.e. Your workplace closes at 5 p.m., so you’ll need to get your order before then).

If you are unsure whether you are in range or delivery works for your situation, you can send an email to carly(at)sweetseasonfarmiowa.com.

Free pickup (Wednesdays)

Pickup is always free. We’ll have your order ready and to the pickup site by 3 p.m. We’ll send you a reminder that it’s there. You can pick up any time between 3-6 p.m.

You can choose:

  • The Landing, Decorah (Google Maps)

  • Sweet Season Farm, Calmar (Google Maps)

  • Olin Building basement, Luther College, Decorah (Luther staff and students only)

Reusable bags and coolers

Your order will arrive in one of our sturdy, insulated reusable totes.

On your next order, you can leave the empty tote out and we will swap it for a full one.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to hang on to your bag, you can leave out a clean cooler and have us unload your produce directly into that instead.

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

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.
