    Here are a few important details to make picking up your share easy:

    • All distributions will be self-serve during the entire week directly from the root cellar.
    • The parking lot will be plowed and you can enter, park, and exit as usual.
    • You may come between 7am -7pm any day during the week. If it is dark, enter through the Farm Shop, turn on the light switch to your right
    • The door to the root cellar is next to the bathroom in the hallway between the harvest shed and the Farm Shop. It is marked “Root Cellar”There is a light switch on the left after you open the door. Give the lights a minute or two to warm up as they are fluorescents.
    • There will be a chalk board in the root cellar to let you know how much food is in your share.
    • There will be a “check-off” sheet that we ask you to use so we know you’ve gotten your share.
    • There will be a newsletter available each month with any late-breaking news and crop use tips.
    • There will be bags available to pack up your share. We will use produce “roll bags” as units of measuring so that you don’t have to spend time weighing. You can also use your own bags.
    • The roots are UNWASHED so please be prepared for your bags to get a bit dirty.
    • We will be distributing all of our winter squash (from the greenhouse) during the first December distribution only. You can store it better and cheaper at home then we can.

    We’re looking forward to a great winter!

    Your Farmer,

    Dan (for Karen, Abbe, Adan, Kerry, and Lisa)
