We are so excited for the beginning of our CSA shares at the farm this Friday!
A few reminders for our members:
Timing of pickups
When you signed up for the season, you selected a day for pickup.
Please stick to that day (or contact Farmer Carol to let her know ahead of time that you need to change days. This is critical, as we need to have enough fresh boxes each day!)
As a reminder, the windows you would've chosen from are:
Friday 2-6 pm
Sat 10 am - 2 pm
Sun 10 am - 2 pm
(Sundays are mostly a convenience time for folks who aren't able to come on Friday/Saturday. So, please keep in mind that Farmer Carol or Farm Staff may not always be available on Sundays)
Parking
Pull into the driveway directly in front of the farm house. Parking is available on both the right (preferred) and left sides of the driveway. If you plan on staying to visit or explore the farm for any length of time, please pull off the driveway and park in the grass!
An additional 1-2 spots are available past the farm house on the left in front of the small tool shed.
When you are ready to leave the farm, follow the driveway through the Gardens and EXIT out via Blueberry Lane. We would like to prevent any turn arounds of vehicles in the yards. There are Arrows that show the direction that traffic should flow for safety. AND REMEMBER to EXIT SAFELY when pulling out onto Elmer Derr.
Vacations!
With FCPS spring break around the corner, we wanted to mention that one of the things our members often ask is what to do with their share on weeks where they're going away on vacations?
Here's the answer, straight from Farmer Carol!
You'll like these options:
1. Share your share ~ Think about giving your share to a friend, co-worker or neighbor you really like. You will be greatly appreciated when you share your share-and your farm for a day.
2. Donate that week ~ We'll deliver it to our local soup kitchen. Just let us know when you won't be around and if Donating is your choice.
3. Keep it a little at a time~ Receive extra produce over the next three pick-up weeks. Receive a third extra produce, over the next three pick-ups and get caught up from your "missed" pick-up while you were away.
4. Double up on your missed share. At your next pickup take 2 shares and get caught up immediately.
Whatever you decide, don't forget to let Farmer Carol know ahead of time so we can make sure to have the freshest produce!
Finally, we are SO EXCITED to welcome you all back to the farm for the season. Here's to a great 2025 season!
