Hello SLO Veg Family,

Christmas is officially here, and our hearts (and kitchens!) are full as we prepare to share a beautiful Christmas harvest with you. This week’s harvest boxes were thoughtfully selected to pair hand in hand with the end-of-week boxes that begin arriving Sunday, helping you ease right into Christmas cooking and entertaining with fresh, seasonal ingredients already on hand.

To support holiday planning, Christmas week deliveries will begin next Sunday 12/21 through Tuesday 12/23. Please be sure to check your home delivery day or pickup location so you know exactly when your box will arrive. We’re delivering early to give everyone time to relax, prep, and truly enjoy the holiday with family and friends.

If you’re planning something special for Christmas, now is the time to place your marketplace orders. All items are time-sensitive and will have early cutoffs to ensure our farmers and artisan partners can thoughtfully prepare everything for delivery by Saturday 12/20 and Monday 12/22, in line with our modified holiday schedule. Getting orders in early helps Santa’s elves (aka our amazing team!) make a little Christmas magic happen.

Here at SLO Veg, we’re especially excited—family will be traveling from near and far to gather under one roof. This is our favorite time of year, filled with baking in the kitchen, festive meals, family games, plenty of laughter, and maybe even a beach bonfire with s’mores if the weather cooperates. It’s a season that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas: togetherness, gratitude, and love.

We are endlessly grateful for each of you. Thank you for welcoming our food, our farmers, and our hearts into your homes week after week. It is truly an honor to serve this community. From our SLO Veg family (and a few very busy elves!) to yours, we wish you a beautiful holiday season filled with warmth and joy.

Merry Christmas, Rachael & our SLO Veg Family 🎄✨
