Summer Pick Up Info

Know what to expect:

Check Pick-up This Week to see which vegetables are available.

What to bring:

• Bags: It’s a good idea to bring smaller bags for loose items like lettuce mix or potatoes, and a larger shopping bag or basket to easily collect your share. We also accept used, clean plastic bags from members and make them available.

• Weather-appropriate gear: The main pick-up area is under cover, but it’s always a good idea to check the weather and come prepared with boots and rain gear for picking in the field.

How does pick-your-own work?

• A number of crops are available only as pick-your-own (PYO), such as berries, fresh herbs, cherry tomatoes, cut flowers, etc.

• PYO may be done at any time that works for you; ask us at pick-up about how to turn the electric fence on and off.

• We provide shears for cutting herbs and flowers, and pint or quart containers for picking berries, cherry tomatoes, and beans.

• A container to put water in can be handy for keeping cut flowers fresh.

What if I can’t make it to a pick-up?

• Come on a different day: It’s fine to come on Thursday instead of Monday, and vice versa. You can even come twice in a week to make up for another week you missed.

• Take a double share: Take twice as much at another time. Just let us know when you check in.

• Send a friend: Just tell them the name to check in with.

• Get a bagged share: If you’d like to request a bagged share, please call 658-2919 x2 before 6pm on your pickup day and your share will be left on the table for pick-up after 6:30. We no longer have a cooler to hold the bagged shares.

• Make arrangements for your bread, cheese, and/or eggs: Contact Kathie.
