Welcome to Your 25-Week CSA Share!

We're thrilled you've joined us. We love sharing our food, farm, and community with you. Here’s some key information to ensure a smooth season:

On-Farm Pick Up (Tuesdays):

  • Bring Your Own Bag: Pick up your CSA list/label and pack your own bag from our market-style setup.
  • Mini Farmers Market: Buy extras like cheese, eggs, butter, produce, and meat. The plant sale continues for 2 more weeks.
  • No Online Orders for Extras: Everything is available on-site.

Delivery Locations:

  • Cooler Bags: Each delivery location receives 2 insulated cooler bags per season. Please return your bag with the label intact each week.
  • Bag Return: Return bags to the same area where you picked them up.
  • Reuse Last Year's Bags: If you have bags from last year, please send them along.

Pick Up Responsibility:

  • It's your responsibility to pick up your share within the given time.

Using the Harvie Platform:

  • Convenience and Flexibility: Harvie allows you to make multiple changes to your share weekly.
  • Customization Cut-Off Times: Changes must be made by Sunday at 3pm for Tuesday delivery and Wednesday at 3pm for Saturday delivery.
  • No Last-Minute Changes: Once the share leaves the farm, it’s out of our hands. Please do not contact Lisa for changes on the day of delivery.

Contact Information:

  • Phone Number: Ensure your number is up-to-date for any last-minute info from your drop location.
  • Emergency Situations: Call your drop location only if you cannot pick up your bag.

Missed Pick Ups:

  • On-Farm Pick Up: We will bag your share and store it in the cooler until the end of the next day.
  • Drop Spots: Bags left beyond pick-up time are donated to employees or a local food pantry.
  • Friends Picking Up: A friend can pick up your bag for you without needing to notify us.

Community and Support:

  • Private FB Farm-ily Page: Join and participate for information exchange and community building. Answer the questions to be identified as a CSA member.

Weekly Customization:

  • Accurate Preferences: Ensure your preferences are set accurately and customize weekly by 3pm Sunday.

Fresh and Organic Greens:

  • Expect plenty of fresh, nutrient-dense, certified organic greens in the coming weeks. Freeze spinach and kale, make a quiche, or sauté them for a delicious meal. Check our blog for kale recipes and inspiration!

We grow food with love and believe in its quality. If something isn’t right or if you’re missing an item, please let us know. We appreciate compliments and constructive criticism alike.

Thank you for being part of our CSA community!

Cheers,

Lisa
