***Only available for delivery....not currently inventoried for pick-up at Summerfield Harvest.
Our delivery pricing model barely covers $5/gallon diesel so we have minimum quantities based on your distance from:
1665 SE Hwy 42 Summerfield 34491
5 cubic yards ($375) delivery up-to 20 miles 10 cubic yards ($700) delivery available up-to 60 miles.
Again, we deliver the first 10 miles for free then $2/mile thereafter.
For example: If Dunnellon High School wanted a delivery it would be 10 cubic yards($700) plus $30 for delivery. They're 25 miles away, less 10 free miles leaves 15 miles @$2/mile is just $30. That's extremely reasonable given how a start to finish delivery easily consumes 3 hours round-trip. Delivery charges are debited from the original credit card after delivery. !Description of image
