CS Pick-up
 
In the past we have prepared a box for the CS member prior to their pick-up, however this year we are going to make a few changes. Again for the 2010 CS program we will be holding an exclusive farm market at the farm for only CS members. Each member will be able to pick out their items so they can get exactly what they need for that week. It is sometimes very difficult to remember each member’s personal preferences so this exclusive market should help that aspect. The time and day of the week for the market is to be announced once we have all the members signed up and can agree on a four to five hour slot during the week.
If you enjoy the mystery of the box full of produce each week and need the convenience of picking it up at a local farm market let us know. We can make any pickup location possible with enough members, so talk to you friends and neighbors in your community so we may come to you!
