Farm Product Coverage & Deliveries
Bulk Product Coverage
The majority of our products are available in bulk, and while there are very specific times that bagged products might work better, overall the preferred method of packaging for our products is bulk delivery. Once you’ve decided the type of product you need, the next step is to determine the quantity you need. Product coverage calculators are conveniently located on each product page.
A note on coverage: The information provided here serves as a basic guideline for calculating product material coverage. If you have a newly filled area it’s a good idea to add an inch or so of depth to your total calculation as these areas usually settle during the first change of seasons. If you should have further questions, please contact us before placing your order, and someone will be happy to assist you with further product coverage calculations.
Product Prices
Product prices noted indicate the cost of the item picked up at our farm which is easily accessible from major Connecticut highways. Should you have any questions regarding directions to our farm or our products please don’t hesitate to contact us.
If you would like to have the product brought directly to you delivery service is available for all our products at an additional cost.
Product prices noted do not include tax and we are required by law to charge CT sales tax. If you have a business tax ID exemption, please visit our office and leave us a copy of your paperwork on file. Once you have left a copy with us for our records, we can waive the sales tax for future purchases.
Product Delivery
The deliveries are based on the maximum amount of product that the truck can hold, as well as the town/city distance from the farm.
Delivery trucks can hold hold one bulk product at a time. Otherwise, products will get mixed together. For example, if you order Lawn Mix Soil in bulk, you cannot add a delivery of say Cedar Bark Mulch to it. You will end up when dumping with a blended Soil / Mulch Mixture!
If you need bagged products or hay bales delivered at the same time of a bulk delivery, there is a limit of 3 bags or 6 hay bales that can be put on with your delivery. If you should need more than that, then an additional delivery will need to be done.
Delivery Pricing
All delivery prices are in addition to the price of the product, and will be displayed to you during checkout. If you are out of state or delivery prices are not available through the website, please contact us for additional information.
Delivery Parameters
