Dear members,
It is with giddy anticipation that we write to announce that our 2022 CSA harvest season will open Saturday, June 11th. The first Tuesday pick-up will be June 14th.
Dust off your harvest baskets, sharpen your clippers, and fold that picnic blanket because we’re about to embark on 6-month adventure of harvest abundance!
Read on below for all the details.
FARM ORIENTATION TOURS
Since we’re all new to the farm this year, all members attend a brief orientation their first time picking up. This tour will help you make the most of your harvest season. We’ll give you your tote bags, show you the garden and the strawberry patch, and go over farm safety and common questions.
Please join us promptly for one of the tour times below:
WEEK 1:
Saturday, June 11: 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 1:00 pm
Tuesday, June 14: 1:00 pm. 3:00 pm, 5:30 pm
WEEK 2:
Saturday, June 18th: 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 1:00 pm
Tuesday, June 21st: 1:00 pm. 3:00 pm, 5:30 pm
WEEK 3:
Saturday, June 25th: 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 1:00 pm
Tuesday, June 28th: 1:00 pm. 3:00 pm, 5:30 pm
You can come on either day (Saturday or Tuesday), whichever works better for your schedule to attend a 30 minute orientation. We ask that all members of your share who will be regularly enjoying the farm attend an orientation. If you’re sharing-a-share (alternating weeks) one of your groups should attend an orientation Week 1 and the other an orientation on Week 2.
If you can’t attend one, please reach out to us to schedule a time that works for you.
