Being a new client of Waverly Farm, they simply give you the easy button when it comes to doing business. Not only did they delivery superior product 3 states away to three different sites, they were also understanding of outside variables which led to a delay in shipping of this product from the original planned date. As a buyer, they certainly take the guess work out of the equation. Thank you.
