We’re starting our share pick-ups next week! And we have new faces in our crew this season, look for the eyes above the masks!

We’re very excited to start our 31st season even though at first it will look a little different to everyone. We’ve been working very hard to design protocols so that we can keep as much of the on-farm experience as possible while maintaining safety for your, our staff, and the food. Your flexibility and commitment to the farm have been crucial elements of our summer preparation and we thank you.

In developing our safety measures, we have looked to and follow the guidance of the Vermont Department of Health, the US Centers for Disease Control, and the UVM Extension and Vermont Agency of Agriculture’s Produce Safety programs for guidance in developing our best approaches to mitigating risk at ICF. Read our current understanding of COVID-19 transmission via food in this document.

We’re sure you have been following similar safety measures and will have no problem maintaining social distancing, adhering to crowd density limits, wearing a mask, and washing hands. We have outlined our full safety measures here and encourage you to review them before next week.

We have asked you to select a preferred time period to pick up your shares to help us with crowd density. If you have not done so yet, please indicate your preference here. We will be assigning times to anyone who has not responded.

We will have bread and cheese shares available this year and encourage you to sign up ahead of time. We’ll have a few items for sale on site, but to make the processes easier, ordering ahead would be a huge help to everyone. We have a waiting list for egg shares now. Email Kathie if you want to be added to that list.
