What a summer!!! We have met so many beautiful people at the farmers markets this year and some of you signed up to get a weekly subscription and it’s improving your life! I pray every week that God sends me people who need what we have. It stirs my heart that prayers are answered and so many of you are healing or just feeling better! They say if you give your body what it needs, it will heal itself. We added 15 people to our subscription service this summer alone and I know there are many more of you that are ready to join and just needed this reminder!
How does the subscription service work?
There’s no contract, per se, it’s just a commitment on your part to have a certain order every week or every other week (once a month is even an option). We make sure that we grow enough greens to fulfill your order. It helps us know how much to grow and it helps you to keep your fridge stocked with healthy greens to fill your bowls and wraps!
Tuesday is Delivery Day – Tuesday morning you leave your cooler out with ice packs. We deliver your order and text you when it’s delivered. There is an order minimum of $15 to guarantee free delivery.
Thursday?
Payment options: Leave a check or cash in the cooler, venmo @Denise-Arceneaux, cash app $ihfarms, Paypal denise@incrediblehealthfarms.com
Communication:
Once a month, we confirm your order with you for the coming month to make sure there are no changes. I prefer text but you can also email or call with changes.
Point to account management??
A reminder is sent out the morning of delivery for cooler and payment.
Cancellation policy (NEW):
Any cancellations to your order must be made by Sunday night for the following Tuesday in order to avoid being charged. I try to accommodate all changes as much as possible so additions are typically possible. On Monday, we spend the day harvesting trays, bagging orders and juicing wheatgrass. Once harvested the microgreens have a 2 week shelf life, once juiced the wheatgrass has a 7 day shelf life. If we get cancellations, we have to find a way to sell your order at the last minute and that proves very difficult without farmer’s markets. For that reason, I’m asking for a 48 hour notice for any cancellations.
Cancel in Acct management?
What can I order?
If you bought something at the market, chances are you got a combo box or combo bag.
Mild combo box – sunflower, broccoli and kale microgreens
Spicy combo box – Radish, arugula and spicy salad (mix of red and green mustards)
Combo bag – a mix of all 6 varieties thrown in a bag
Boxes are $12 each or any 2 for $20. Combo bag is $15
If you decide you like some varieties better than others you can buy them by the bag for $5 each.
You can view more pictures & get more details on the varieties at https://www.incrediblehealthfarms.com/microgreens/.
What is the big deal about WHEATGRASS?
For one, my sales have more than doubled this summer! So many people are getting such great results that they want one a day so we are delivering a week’s worth every Tuesday! Some who are dealing with disease or covid are taking 2 and 3 a day. Totally fine to do that.
It has all your amino acids, vitamins and minerals. It’s high in chlorophyll so it is a powerful anti-oxidant. If you have any inflammation in your body, um all of us, then you know anti-oxidants are fueling the water hose for the fire burning in your body. Everyone seems to respond differently with some similarities. Mental clarity and focus, better energy throughout the day, less aches and pains are just a few of the comments I have heard. A customer with Rheumatoid arthritis has boasted of major improvements and her Rheumatologist is thrilled with this addition! What can this help you with?
DO THE RESEARCH:
Go to Pubmed.gov and do a search for “wheatgrass health” and you will find 44 studies that will give you more information. One study on the nutritional quality and antioxidant activity in wheatgrass had this to say:
Wheatgrass contains minerals, phytochemicals, active enzymes, and vitamins that can be easily absorbed. The consumption of wheatgrass juice can give better health benefits. Information about beneficial properties of wheat grass juice is clearly mentioned in this work. Proteins found in wheatgrass are known to be involved in preventing many diseases, oxidative stress, primary metabolism, storage, and energy-related mechanisms. Results of this work revealed that Triticum aestivum seedlings (wheatgrass seeds) can act as an antioxidant agent due to their free radical scavenging activity and can be constructive to control or treat many health complications. From all these results we believed that wheatgrass can be used for the nourishment of humans.
Dealing with chemo? There’s a study on the effect of wheatgrass for chemo patients and immunity preservation.
Convinced yet? What about Broccoli microgreens and cancer?
Broccoli has sulforaphane which kills cancer cells! One ounce of broccoli microgreens is equivalent to 1.5 pounds of broccoli. That’s more manageable, maybe?
