Don't Want A Good Thing to End?!
We invite CSA members not already signed up for the "CSA Fall Extension" option of our 2019 season to consider the opportunity to extend their weekly supply of fresh vegetables from the Dickinson College Farm!
The CSA extension runs six additional weeks (November thru mid-December). Our friends at Harvie have an auto-renew function for CSA programs like ours that offer "extension" options for CSA shares. With this in mind, please note these important details.
- Harvie will auto-renew CSA members not currently signed up for the additional six weeks on October 22nd.
- Payment method is the same as the member used on the first order. Members can update what payment option they'd like to use for the extension. My Profile--Edit Profile--Choose new payment option--Save. If credit card information has changed, please update in the Harvie system.
- Members can change their place of pick up for the extended season if desired. Otherwise, it will remain the same. To change place of pick up, Go to "My Deliveries".
- Members who do not want to be enrolled in the Fall extension MUST opt out of auto renew. Members can do this thru their Harvie account before October 22nd. Go to My Profile --Edit Profile -- toggle off Auto renew --Save.
- If you already signed up for the CSA extension season, no need to do anything!
Please contact farm@dickinson.edu with any questions.
Field Notes:
The last full week of summer flew by in the fields, as we stayed busy with summer crops and harvesting some new fall crops. Sweet potatoes were the biggest new harvest of the week, and they are beautiful and big and are currently curing in the potato room. They will sit in a hot room for about a week, and once they are cured, they will have the true sweet taste of a sweet potato! We are excited to share them with you! Other farm happenings have included carrot harvesting, winter squash sanitizing, and green house planting. It is exciting to plant in the new greenhouse knowing that we are going to be able to have crops longer on the season, specifically lettuces, spinach, and other greens. We have also been harvesting and preparing for Gather, our farm to table dinner that is taking place this Saturday. We are excited to share our bounty in the form of a communal meal experience. We are excited to welcome the fall season, and all the food that comes with it!
Warmly,
