What to Bring (or bring back) to CSA

  1. •Bags

  2. • Large re-useable  or clean plastic bags

  3. • Smaller bags for loose or dirty items like potatoes, beans or tomatoes. Green, Ziploc, paper, muslin or netted bags all work well.

  4. •We also accept any clean plastic bags to share with members who have forgotten a bag.

  5. •Pulp Quarts: Certain produce is distributed in small green quart containers or wooden quarts. If you do happen to take some, we would love them back.

  6. •Your Name?: Make sure you know the last name of the primary contact person. That is the name we need to check off so that you can get your share.

  1. Missed Shares and Emergencies


  3.     For vacations or scheduled events, here are the options:   

  4. 1.Find a friend to pick up the vegetables for you. The person just has to mention the last name of the primary contact.


  6. 2. Arrange for a make-up share. We prefer that this is only done twice.

  7. •Just tell us in person at CSA, at least one week prior to the missed distribution, the dates that you’ll be gone and when you’d like to get the make-up share.

  8. •The missed share must be redeemed within two weeks of return.

  9. •The week you “make-up” your share, you take double your normal amount, e.g. a person with a Standard share would take a Large share just for that week.


  11. Please see us in person about long vacations! We’re usually pretty flexible if we have enough warning.


  13.          Emergencies        

  14.      Contact us sometime after the missed distribution and we’ll figure out an alternative pick-up. This may include receiving a double share the next week or picking up your share at another distribution site or even the farmers market. Please make sure you give us reasonable warning of when you’ll be picking up the make-up share.


In either case, it is your responsibility to make arrangements for any missed shares and to remember to redeem your make-up share in the time allowed. We usually try to remind you, but we can forget too.

I’m new to this, how does Distribution work?


  2. 1. Check-in with the farmer in charge by telling us the last name of the primary contact.

  3. 2. Look for a large white-board telling you how many “items” to choose this week.

  4. 3. Find the vegetables you want!

  5. • Each type of veggie has instructions for Standard and Large Shares. (Every-Other-Week Shares follow the Standard Share sizes).

  6. •Only take the amount on the sign. We rarely have enough for someone to take double, so please ask if you absolutely need double (which is counted as two items).

  7. •Do not take everything on the table. Someone else may be denied vegetables if you take too much. The first few times can be confusing, but we’re there to help.

  8. •Count each type of vegetable as an item and get enough types to add up to the big number.

  9. •Last, pick up any “Additional Shares” that you have i.e. eggs, flowers etc.
