Visit our Pickups page for all the details

When you arrive at the farm, park in the designated parking area right as you pull into the farm. You may be greeted by the welcoming crew – our working farm dogs that all love to bark but are very friendly and loving! Please show them love and respect!

Please bring a bag or bags to accommodate your veggies. We will have extra paper bags if you forget your own – just ask! When there is pick-your-own it’s best to bring your own clippers/scissors handy for herb cutting in case the ones we provide are all being used.

You will pick up your share under a tent next to the farm stand.  Look for a podium with our check-in sheets and mark yourself off for the week. There will always be one or two crew members around to help and to answer questions. 

Inside the share tent, vegetables will be  displayed on tables with little signs telling you what’s what and how much to take of each item.  Please note our share is NOT free choice. We grow specific amounts of veggies just for our CSA. Giving free choice is too challenging for us at the moment and would lead to potential waste that we would like to avoid. If you have an allergy or strong aversion to a specific veggie we would be happy to swap it for something else but please ask first just to be sure we have enough of everything to go around.  Be sure to grab your veggies from the CSA tent and not from the farmstand.  We will be around and keeping an eye to make sure we don’t run out of anything but if you notice we need to restock please find us and we’ll get right on it!

If you know that you are going to miss a pickup, let us know before the share pickup has ended and we will pack a share for you and leave it in the cooler with your name on it.  If you’re going on vacation, feel free to have somebody else pick up your share for you – you don’t need to tell us, just let your friend know to give us your name when they check in. If you don’t come for your share and we haven’t  heard from you by 12:30 pm on Saturday we will not be able to fill your share for that week. We hate to draw a hard line here but many, many man hours go into harvesting, cleaning, packing, maintaining, and manning the share pickup. With so much work to do each and every day of the week, it is impossible for us to spend hours the next day putting together shares for people who didn’t come during the 2 pickup times allotted.

When PYO is available, a chalkboard in the share tent will let you know which crops are open and the amount of each that can be harvested per share. Full and Half shares both get the same amount of PYO items.

Please bring your own tools and bags for harvesting from the PYO. Beds that are open for picking will be marked with signs at the beginning of the bed. We wait to open some crops, such as herbs, until the plants are big enough for everyone to get some. Even though sometimes it may look like a crop is ready, please don’t pick from it unless it has a sign. Throughout the season, we plant many successions in the PYO garden. Please be careful (and make sure your kids are careful) of beds with ungerminated seeds or baby seedlings. Please only walk in pathways between beds even if you’re sure that there is nothing planted. If there is bad weather we have the right to close the PYO for the safety of people and plants.

PYO flowers are not guaranteed to be in the Veggie CSA. We will include flowers only when we are sure that there is enough to satisfy the PYO Flower shareholders first.

All of our crops are grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. This does not mean we recommend eating them without washing them first. We rinse all produce to remove most of the loose dirt, but please don’t stop there. We have wildlife nearby, birds poop as they fly overhead...you get the picture. So wash your veggies.
