In direct sales it is provenance that decides, not price: the farm, the method, the season. Telling that story sells to the people who are deliberately avoiding the supermarket shelf.
Delivery is the first point where the basket gets abandoned: the cold chain, the transit time, what happens in a heatwave. Explained honestly, it stops being a reason to leave.
Two buyers read the same page: the family ordering a box and the shop ordering a pallet. Minimum order, formats and lead time told apart stop each of them wasting the other's time.
Say where else you can be found: which markets, which shops, which restaurants use it. That list is proof, and it catches the customer who searches for the shop before they search for the farm.
Anybody subscribing wants to know what they will eat, not a general promise. Publish this week's box and last week's, say it follows the field rather than a catalogue, and explain what happens for somebody who cannot stand one particular vegetable: without that, the second week does not get paid for.
Being able to pause for a holiday decides whether a subscription lasts a year or two months. How a week is skipped and the notice needed, whether the day or the collection point can change, what happens if nobody is home, and whether there is a minimum term — usually the real reason people do not sign up.
Certified and «from my own garden» are both respectable; blurring them is not. Whether there is organic certification and from which body, what being in conversion means, and when it is better to describe the practice — no herbicides, own compost — than to imply a label you do not hold.
Price the box against the supermarket honestly. Weight, how many meals it realistically covers and what it works out at per person: a customer doing that sum on the back of an envelope is the one who cancels in month two, so do the sum for them.
