These are wild times. Here at the farm we want to continue to feed our community and do our part to help keep you healthy every way we can. We're taking extra precautions with additional bin and barn sterilization, hand washing, and harvest/post-harvest sanitation above and beyond our normal protocol. Roberto and I are the only two people harvesting, washing, packing and delivering the produce at this time of year. We are all healthy on the farm thus far, and we're all observing the CDC recommendations about social distancing.

As of now, we intend to continue with our every-other-week winter/spring harvest schedule. We will be packing CSA shares as usual. We encourage CSA members to observe these guidelines:

• If there are other people at your pickup location or in the barn we encourage you to give each other ample space.
• As always, please wash your produce when you get it home.
• If you are ill, please stay home. Send a friend to pick up your produce instead.

For farmstand customers, please note we are temporarily altering our farmstand system to reduce potential exposure for our customers.

Effective April 1st for our next farmstand:

• The farmstand will switch to a pre-order, “to-go” system.
• Rather than having customers pick out their produce in person, we will email you a list of availability the weekend before through our online ordering platform, Cropolis. **If you want to receive our produce availability list, please EMAIL US so we have your contact info!** We will only be emailing the list to people who give us their email address for this express purpose.
• You will need to place your order via Cropolis by Sunday night. It’s simple and user friendly.
• We will then pack orders into grocery bags labeled with your name and leave the bags in our walk-in cooler for pickup on Wednesday.
• An invoice will be attached and you will leave payment in the Honor Box as usual.
• Like shopping the farmstand, produce will be packed based on the order the emails are received, so you may not get all the items you ordered if we run out of a given thing. We’ll do our best!

Thanks for your support of the farm through this challenging time. We're here to support your good health in every way we can!
