Freeze-Dried Organic Honeycrisp

Seasonal Considerations

At Chelan Ranch, we prioritize the quality and freshness of our organic products. Seasonal weather conditions can sometimes pose challenges for shipping, particularly during the winter months.

WINTER SHIPPING DELAYS: In colder months, freezing temperatures can affect the quality of fruit during transit. To safeguard your order, we may hold shipments until weather conditions improve, ensuring your products arrive in optimal condition. We will notify you of any delays and provide updated shipping information as needed.

HOT WEATHER SHIPPING: During summer, extreme heat can impact perishable items. We use insulated packaging and ice packs as necessary to protect your order during transit.

PROTECT YOUR ORDER WITH SHIPPING PROTECTION: We highly encourage customers to select Route Shipping Protection at checkout. This optional service provides added peace of mind, offering coverage for loss, damage, or delays caused by extreme weather conditions.

Thank you for understanding that these measures are taken to maintain the integrity and freshness of your order. If you have specific concerns about your shipment or need assistance, please contact us directly before placing your order.
