We’ll be updating this page with more information when we’re closer to the CSA starting date.                                                          

Do you know your distribution site?

   Approximately 1-2 weeks before the first distribution you should receive an email with details about the distribution location we have on record for you. Please email us at least one week before the first distribution if you’d like to switch locations.

                                                                       This is your location for the entirety of the CSA.

1. At Distribution
   

What to Bring to CSA Distribution:

1. First, you’ll need something to put all your veggies in. So, bring either re-useable bags or clean plastic bags. We will have used plastic bags for you to use in case you forget, but sometimes we forget. We’ve found that the best way for people to remember is simply stuffing some re-useable or plastic bags into everyone’s vehicle at home. Thus, in case we forget you always have some sort of back-up. Extra bags to share with other members are also appreciated if you have a build up at home.

3. Also, every week certain vegetables are distributed in little greenish quart containers- called pulp containers. We encourage members to dump-out the things in these containers and leave them with us. The only exception are Raspberries and Strawberries.

5. While these containers look sort-of biodegradable, we need these back every time we see you. This isn’t a huge issue early in the season, but later when you receive more and more items in these containers it will be essential that you return them if you choose to take them.
   

Here’s a primer on what happens at Distribution:

1.      At your distribution just check in with the farmer in charge, usually Rebecca, Amy or Pearl, by simply telling us your last name. We’ll try to memorize your information, but be patient with us as we see many faces in the summer.
   

2.     Then look for a large white-board telling you how many “items” to choose in total, which varies each week.  Attached to each type of vegetables there will be instructions for half and full shares. (Every-Other-Week shares follow half share instructions). Do not take everything on the table. Since every item is carefully counted, it is important to follow the instructions, since someone else may be denied vegetables if you take too much. The first few times can be confusing, but we’re there to explain it to you.

For Share Splitters

1. One or both of you can show up, but we recommend the first week you try to come together, if possible. If you split a Full share then follow the directions given for a Half share. If you’re splitting a Half or EOW share (which is NOT advised) and want to come every applicable week then you are required to show up together. This is a change from last year.

3. Missed Shares and Emergencies
   

What happens if you miss a share?

   For non-emergencies (vacations, etc.) here are your options:

1. 1.Find a friend to pick up the vegetables for you. The person just has to mention your last name at distribution. It often helps to explain the process to them a little as well. 
   

2. 2.Arrange for a make-up share. This option has rules attached and it can only be done twice.
   

3. -We ask for a one week notice, via email or verbally, prior to the missed distribution. You can make up the missed share within two weeks of returning. The week you “make-up” your share, you take double your normal amount, e.g. a person with a half share would take a full share.
   

4. Please contact us about long vacations, we’re usually quite flexible on this issue.
   

5. For emergency situations:
   

6.      Just contact us sometime after the missed distribution and we’ll arrange for an alternative pick-up. This may include receiving a double share the next week or picking up your share at another distribution site. Please make sure you give us some warning of when you’ll be picking up the make-up share.
