Can CSA shareholders pick their own vegetables?
Most vegetables are picked and made available to our members in a pick-up area of our farm. A few crops, such as peas, beans and cherry tomatoes, must be picked by shareholders themselves. When you get to the farm, please check the Pick-Your-Own bulletin board for a list of pick-your-own crops and amounts per member that may be harvested. If you are unsure, please ask us for any questions about finding or harvesting pick-your-own crops. We’ll try to guide you to the right picking spots with our garden signs. The farm is open for CSA members to pick-your-own from June 10 through the first Saturday in October during daylight hours only on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
