Sunchokes usually ship late October and may be sent separately from the rest of your order.

Note to Alaska customers: Due to the timing of crop harvest, we do not receive inventory until September, and we begin shipping orders as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee an early shipment, so please plan accordingly and order early.

We will send you an email or postcard in mid-October with your order number and pickup details. You may pick up your order during a designated two-week time period at the Organic Growers Supply warehouse at: 688 Bellsqueeze Road, Clinton, Maine. Pickup orders pay no shipping charges.

If your order contains backordered items that are not available at pickup time, we will reach out as products are back in stock for you to pick up at a later date, or we will ship them to you.
