First batch - sold out and shipped!

Whoa. It's been a wild few months getting everything finalized and shipped to our first customers.  When the Edible East Bay article was published in March, we were still a long way off from finalizing and shipping, even though we didn't know the real timeline at publication date! But as orders came in and customers remained patient, we worked hard to make the carts practical, awesome, and beautiful. 

The final carts headed out the door last week and are in the hands of our intrepid (and patient) customers. And now the first carts are cruising the farmers markets and customers are sharing excellent feedback. Thanks for the photos and kind words! After so many months and, honestly, questions and frustrations, it's such a great feeling to see them being used at markets this summer.

Some of you have asked for small fixes and shared really great ideas to make the cart better.  I'm happy to say that those fixes have been resolved and encourage anyone to share their comments, questions, and concerns.  Please know we are working on those great ideas and are eager to make everything much easier to use for your weekly - some of you twice weekly! - trips to the market.

Looking ahead, there's a lot of work to do for us to make carts in higher quantities.  After making about three dozen carts there are many things we need to solve in order to make hundreds, or thousands!, in the future.  Right now it's just me working from home and two guys managing a small shop in Richmond, CA that are designing, cutting, staining, and assembling them.  We both have other priorities, too. I have a full time job and a young family.  The shop owner has other clients and a young family.  At least we still like each other and are both hopeful about the future of Harvest Made :-)

Ultimately, this isn't about us, it's about you and your support of farmers markets.  We're excited about the future of Harvest Made being a part your regular market shopping and cannot thank you enough for your support as we continue on this journey together.  

Until then,

Cheers!
