“Everyone involved with having OMC in partnership needs a complete heads up. Harvesting Health is a wonderful program. Being able to receive such good local produce ready to be placed in your vehicle every week is very beneficial. A printout of the veggies in the box with tips on preparation and recipes only puts icing on the cake.
Negative interactions aren't present. We are treated with so much kindness and cheer I can't find words to express how recipients feel. We know what we are getting is fresh, the boxes are already made. and distributed evenly.
I initially did not sign up for this service fast enough and was put on a waiting list. When I went inside to complete paperwork, I was lucky and chatted with Lisa, person developing this program. I am now part of this first group of people. No longer on waiting list!!
So, kudos for and to OMC for participating!”
