How do I split my share with my partner?

We suggest that you communicate with them about alternating who splits the share.

When you come to the farm,

you can pick up the vegetable for a whole share. We

provide a table with extra bags, knife, cutting board etc. to help

you split your

share. Place your partners’ food in their bag, and mark their name on the outside of

the bag. Place

you partner’s bag in our

reach

-in cooler. The first few weeks the

amount of vegetable is small. You may want to

consider alternating weeks for pick-up.

Dogs at the Farm

You may bring your dog to the farm at pick-up time. Please have them on a leash

at all times

and bring a bag to pick up their

waste. Please be sensitive to other

members with your dog and keep it at a distance unless asked.

Children

We love to

see

children

enjoy themselves

as they explore the farm. Please consider the

following guidelines, when

bringing your children. For children under 1

yrs. We ask

that one parent

or guardian

supervises their children

100% of the time

for safety

reasons.

What do I do with extra produce or kinds I don’t prefer?

We offer a Surplus/Exchange table in the

CSA Barn

for members to leave extra or

unwanted produce for other

members to choose. This operates on a first come first

served basis.
