Early Bird Catches the Worm!

As the summer starts to wind down, some of you may have already begun planning for the next season.  For those of you who manage deliveries year-round, we encourage you to take this opportunity to update your delivery schedules from your Farmigo Dashboard.  


For those of you who offer your members seasonal shares, please email [email protected] so that we set up your next season.  There are a lot of benefits to setting up your next season now.  For starters, you can begin promoting sign-ups for your next season among your current share members.  You can also begin collecting revenue to help with all the expenses that are required when preparing for your next season.

Update Delivery Schedules for Ongoing Deliveries

If your members have signed up for a continuous subscription to your CSA, please remember to regularly add dates to your delivery schedules.  To edit or add dates to your delivery schedules, go to the Settings link at the top of your Dashboard.  Then click on the dates so that they turn blue in order to schedule a delivery for that date.

Good Year? Set up a Fall or Winter Season

Some of you may have been promoting a Fall or Winter share already.  But some of you may have only recently determined that you are prepared to offer a Fall or Winter this year.  If you do not have any sign-ups yet for your Fall or Winter shares, please email [email protected] so that we can set up a unique sign-up page for those seasons.  The new link will allow current and new members to sign up for the share at any time and provide you with a unique link for marketing the Fall or Winter season.

Jump Start Sign-ups for Next Season

As your members have gushed over the beautiful produce that they’ve received all season, this is the perfect time to ask them to sign up for your next season!  Please email [email protected] when you are ready to set up your next season.  If you could include answers to the following questions, it will allow us to set up your season very quickly:

1. Are the delivery days for the new season the same as a previous season? If so, which season? If they are different, what are the delivery days (M,T,W, etc) of the new season?
   
2. What is the start and end date the new season? (We know that Mother Nature may have different plans for your start and end dates, and that's okay - we can always change them. What's most important is that the number of weeks in the season is accurate.)
   
3. Are the payment plans you want to offer for the new season the same as a previous season? If so, which season? If they are different, which payment plans would you like to offer this season? 
   
4. Are the schedules (weekly, biweekly, etc) for the new season the same as a previous season? If so, which season?  
   
5. Are the delivery locations for the new season the same as a previous season? If so, which season?
   
6. Are the shares and options for the new season the same as those from a previous season? If so, which season? 
   
7. When would you like to start taking sign-ups for the new season? 
   

After we have set up your new season, we will ask you to review your new season and set up any schedules, shares, or locations that we couldn’t copy from a previous season.  To review the settings for the new season, you will need make sure that you switch seasons when working in each part of your Dashboard.

Once you have tested your new sign-up link and verified all settings, you will be ready to start taking sign-ups!  After your current season has ended, you will then email [email protected] so that we activate your new season and you can begin managing deliveries.
