On-Farm Pick Up Procedure
We will be starting the Market Style Pick up at the farm this season. If you have specific questions concerns about the Market Style, please refer to that section of this FAQ page.
You will find that our produce will be displayed in the share room. When you arrive, you will give the staffer your name, they will check you off on the checklist, you can pick up an empty box and then proceed around the room, filling it with your share of the vegetables. Each item will have a sign denoting how much of the item you can take, depending on your share size. Some items will have number and others will need to be weighed.
We will have the vegetables laid out in such a way that by starting at one end, you will be putting the bigger and heavier items in first, and then the delicate items like lettuce or tomatoes in last.
At the end of the pick up there will be a trade table where you can exchange items from your box. There will also be some ‘free choice’ items, often items that we don’t have a lot of or are ‘seconds’ that you can add to your share.
Egg Shares and Herb Shares will be at the main table and will be given out by the staffer at the end of your pick up.
Off-Farm Pick Up Procedure
When you arrive at your pick up location, please give your name to the staffer, who will check you off on the checklist. You will then take a share box corresponding to your share size and you will be good to go.
Egg Shares and Herb Shares will each have their own station, please ask the staffer if you have any difficulties locating them.
There will also be a ‘free choice’ table where you can take items that we don’t have enough of to give out to everyone or that are ‘seconds’.
What if I miss a pick up?
If you know in advance that you will not be able to make it to a pick up, please email us so that we can arrange an alternate time/location for you to get your share.
Any left over shares at the end of a pick up are brought back to the farm and placed in our walk-in cooler, located in the Share Room at the farm. We tend to label the shares that include eggs or other special items. The regular shares will not necessarily be labelled, but any information about them will be written on the white board on the door of the walk-in.
We hold shares for no longer than 48 hours after the pick up, and you are welcome to come to the farm anytime between 8 am – 8 pm to collect your share. If you arrive at the farm and need assistance please call Laura at 717 982 3448.
Can someone else pick up my share for me?
Yes. Please let them know what to expect upon arrival and have them be sure to give the name associated with the share.
Can I visit the farm?
Absolutely! We encourage our members (and non-members) to come met our farmers and get a chance to check out the farm. We hope that everyone can make it out at least once during the season! One of the benefits of being a CSA member is that you get to know who your farmer is and where your vegetables are coming from. It is a great experience just to walk around the fields and see first-hand what our farm is like. We are also planning many member events for this season, so check the events calendar to see if you can make it.
