Welcome to the Make It GF Store!
Shipping Update for Summer 2025
Greetings! As I type this, it's just before Easter, and the high temperature here is Northern Connecticut is roughly 80 (F). Given this elevated temperature so early in the year, Make It GF has decided that it will not ship pierogi via UPS while the temperatures are elevated.
Last summer we tried shipping using dry ice, but it didn't really work. So this year, we will sell pierogi directly to consumers for pickup at our factory, at expos, and farmers markets. We will be doing two farmers markets this year, New Canaan and Ellington. We will be at the Ellington market one time a month; and we will be in New Canaan twice a month.
ALL OTHER PRODUCTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE SHIPPED— INCLUDING dumpling wrappers and wonton wrappers. The wrappers are not as delicate as the pierogi, and we feel confident that they will reach customers in good shape. Pizza dough balls will also continue to be shipped, as will our fresh pastas and bread types.

- Our guarantee: If for any reason your shipment is damaged or delayed during shipping, we will replace the product at no further charge to you or we will refund your money.
Refrigerated Products
- Refrigerated products are packed in insulated box liners with frozen gel packs. This means for most of the country UPS overnight, USPS Express mail or FedEx are the only options. There is no way around this.
- All items can be frozen if desired upon unboxing, including our pizza dough.

Which UPS Zone are you?
The Make It GF zip code is 06019. We ship our refrigerated packages to zone 1 as calculated by UPS. During the winter months we are extending our refrigerated shipping range to include UPS Zone 2. We ship our non-refrigerated products to zones 1,2 and 3. We don't ship them any further because we don't use preservatives in our products
