CSA Guidelines for Members
Switching Your Pickup Day/Location
With a week's notice (or more) we're happy to change your pickup day for you. Just send an email with the changes you would like. Tell us the date you would like to switch from, and the day and location you’re switching to.
Keep in mind that we can only switch days within the same week. So if you pickup on Tuesday, you can switch to Thursday or Saturday later that week. If you pick up on Saturday, you can switch to Thursday or Tuesday earlier that week.
You can switch to any of the public pick-up sites, listed below:
Tuesday
Kirby's Farm Market 1pm - 7pm
Glen Edith, Elton Street,
Community Christian Church (Chili) 4pm-6pm
Thursday: Rochester Public Market 7am - 10am
Saturday:
Rochester Public Market 7am - 10am
Saturday: Kirby's Farm Market 1pm-7pm
Weekly CSA Member Discount
Once a week, get 10% off as much homegrown produce (in one purchase at our farm market) as you’d like. Quart of strawberries? Yep! Seven bushels of tomatoes? Definitely!
Anatomy of Your Weekly CSA Email
Your weekly CSA Email will arrive in your inbox no later then the morning of your pickup day. This email will always contain:
A list of anything new arriving that week, with a link to information and recipes on our website. (Very helpful for the brand new veggies that many have never seen before!)
A field update with any interesting news from the farm. Crop progress, effects of the weather, etc.
This email will sometimes contain:
Any changes that were made from the estimated packlist while packing the box. A lot can happen between creating the estimated pack list on Friday and the actual harvest. Sometimes a crop is delayed by cold or rainy weather, or we might decide to pack something new and exciting that shows up earlier then expected.
Recipe suggestions, and/or ways to pair the produce in your share
Details about the produce packed in your share. For example, what variety of peaches you'll receive, and what that variety is particularly good for.
Reminders about additional benefits of being a CSA member with Kirby's.
Excessive exclamation points!! (I tend to get over excited about fruits and veggies.)
