Fall 2011 Farm Share Details

The Barefoot Dragonfly is the Stoneham site host for Heavens Harvest Farm CSA.

Details for participating shareholders:

Pickup Day: Thursdays

The CSA pick-up day is going to remain on Thursdays for the Fall season. The driver has typically been to the office by late morning (11:00am or so), and we’re generally here to 7-7:30pm on Thursdays. I post a quick update on our Facebook fan page: http://facebook.com/barefootdragonfly to let folks know when the shares have arrived, please note that I also post any announcements there as well (such as an inclement weather notice), the feed shows up on our website’s home page too: http://thebarefootdragonfly.com.

A couple of helpful tips to help your pick-ups go smoothly:
1. Bring a reusable grocery bag or two to take your produce home in.
2. When you open the box remember that the heavier produce (like squash and potatoes) are at the bottom, while the leafy greens are on top so load your bag accordingly.
3. Kindly fold the box and tuck it behind the others – the farm will reuse these boxes.
4. If there is a produce item you’re not fond of you are welcome to leave it on top of the other shareholders’ boxes – someone may want to take it home.

In the event that you cannot make your pickup day you have a couple of options: a.) tell a friend or neighbor to come pick it up for you, they’ll love the fresh veggies while you’re out of town!, b.) let us know and we’ll donate it to the Stoneham Food Pantry or call a family on our short list of folks on foodstamps in Stoneham. Occasionally it works out to hold a box overnight to the following morning for a shareholder to pick up so there’s no harm in asking but we can’t guarantee it as we keep office hours by appointment.

Any questions about the farm, what kind of produce is coming or how to downsize or upsize your share should be directed to the folks at Heavens Harvest Farm: http://heavensharvestfarm.com.

We look forward to another season of fresh, local produce shared with our friends and neighbors in the community!
