I forgot to confirm or wasn’t done with my order and now I can’t find it in my cart:

When you order as a regular farmstand customer, you have to confirm your order once you’re done shopping. If you were not done with shopping and wanted to come back to it at a later point, or you were reminded by an email that you still have an unconfirmed order in your cart, but your cart is empty, go to your ‘Overview‘ tab in your profile. You should find your order here and it will appear once again in your cart when you click “View Order“.

I want to modify my order but can’t find it:

As long as the ordering period is still open, you can keep going back to your order to customize it, even if you had confirmed it previously. If you can’t find your order in your cart, check your “Overview” tab in your profile. You will find your order here.
