Wade Greens is a small family farm, and this website is how most people find us. We want it to work for everyone who visits — on a phone in a market parking lot, on a laptop, with a screen reader, with the text zoomed way up, or with a keyboard instead of a mouse.

What we are working toward

We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as our reference. It is the standard most organizations use, and it is what we measure our own pages against as we build and rebuild them.

What we have done so far

• Every page can be reached and used with a keyboard alone, and the focus outline stays visible as you move through it.
• Page structure uses real headings in order, so screen readers and skip links can jump straight to the content.
• Product photos, banners and icons carry text alternatives, and decorative images are marked so they are skipped rather than read aloud.
• Forms have visible labels attached to their fields, and required fields are marked in text, not by color alone.
• Color is never the only way we tell you something — stock status, errors and confirmations are spelled out in words too.
• Text can be zoomed and the layout reflows rather than clipping, down to a narrow phone screen.
• Growing zone, size and care information lives in text on the product page, not only inside an image.

Where we know we fall short

We would rather tell you than pretend otherwise. A few parts of the site still need work:

• Some older blog posts and product descriptions have images without full alternative text. We are going back through them.
• A few third-party tools we use — the review widget, the newsletter popup and the chat window — are built by outside companies. We report problems to them, but we do not control their code.
• Some PDF growing guides are not yet tagged for screen readers. If you need one in another format, ask and we will send it.

If something gets in your way

Use the form below, or email service@wadegreens.com. It helps if you can tell us the address of the page, what you were trying to do, and what you were using — a phone, a computer, a screen reader, voice control. We read every message and we will write back.

If you are asking about an order you already placed, orders@wadegreens.com is the faster route.

Other ways to order

If the website is not working for you, you do not have to fight with it. Email us what you want and we will take the order by email, or meet you at one of our farmers markets and hand it to you there.

This page changes

Accessibility is not a box we check once. As we rebuild pages, we fix what we find and update this page with it. If you spot something we have missed, tell us — that is usually how we find out.
