As you may remember, earlier this year Food Connects was running two regular order cycles each week. When the pandemic struck, we narrowed that down to one cycle per week, for both safety and operational reasons.

Although the future is still unknowable, we have emerged from the weeds somewhat, and customer demand has convinced us that it’s time to reinstate the second cycle.

Please note: These changes apply to main route customers only. If you are unsure whether or not you qualify, please reach out to us!

Beginning this Friday, 8/14: Regular Weekly Friday Deliveries!

For our central Windham and Cheshire county customers we will run Wednesday and Friday deliveries on a trial basis for the next few months. In the late fall we will evaluate the results and determine whether it’s worth continuing through the winter.

By offering customers more options to get food for the week we hope to be able to increase overall sales of local food to current customers and create more opportunities for us to build customer bases in new markets like the Pioneer Valley.

Our two weekly cycles will look like this:

Delivery Day: Wednesday Order Deadline: Monday, 10 am

Delivery Day: Friday Order Deadline: Wednesday, 10 am

EXCEPTIONS:

Mi Tierra Tortillas: Tortillas will be available for delivery only on Wednesdays.
Bread: Bread orders are still due Friday at 11 am and bread will be available for delivery only on Wednesdays.
Specialty cheeses: Cheese special orders will remain on a biweekly cycle, with orders due every other Tuesday at 10 am.

We’re excited about this opportunity to bring you additional fresh, local food on a more frequent basis! If you have any questions about this change, please reply to us at this email, or write Beth and Alex at sales@foodconnects.org

Thank you!
