Your First CSA Pickup Day

Picking up your CSA share is easy, there are just a few things to look out for.

  • Find your name on the sign in sheet (alphabetical by last name) and add your signature.

  • Don’t forget a reuseable bag or box to pack your produce into.

  • Enjoy that box of homegrown deliciousness and we’ll see you next week!

  • Fruits and vegetables will be available in large containers, labelled with how much each share size can take. For example a bushel of apples might say “Quarter - 3, Half - 6, Full - 12”.

  • First, add your signature to the sign-in sheet.

  • Then, read through the pack-list.

  • Go down the line and select your items according to the labels.

  • Your coordinator is available to help or answer questions.

  • Don’t forget your reuseable bag to pack your produce into, and leave the box at pickup. If you forget to bring a bag once or twice, remember to bring your box back. There’s a $5 fee for any boxes that aren’t returned.

  • Be sure to take the correct size share. Boxes are organized and stacked by share size. If you need a reminder what size you signed up for, it will be listed next to your name on the sign-in sheet.

    • FULL SHARES receive an abundance of produce. If you’re a Half Share member and it seems like a LOT of produce in your box, you probably picked up a Full Share on accident. Full Share will often have four of something (like zucchini), or a VERY large version of something like cabbage or squash.

    •  HALF SHARE receive about half of what the Full share gets, there’s always at least one of everything, and often two. 

    • Quarter Shares are like a sampler share, with a little bit of everything.
