Good day, All. I hope you are well. Some updates from the farm and CSA Group:
--Remember pick up on Saturday is from 12 to 3. We'll be happy to see you again!
--If you are traveling out of town, please arrange to have someone else pick up for you. We want you to have your goodies, so please remember we are surrendering unpicked produce at the end of the period this year and are not making follow-up calls to those who've failed to pick up.
--For special circumstances regarding pickup or other matters this week or any week during the season, please email us at irvingtonagriculture@gmail.com and we'll help the best we can. Please note that -- while I don't mind calls for emergencies -- I'd rather not be called in lieu of email as we have a whole committee working on this year's project. I may not be the correct person to contact. Please know we check our email daily and your written communication will get noticed by the right volunteer.
--Please note that we may miss emails sent between Friday afternoon and pickup time. Please let us know of things as soon as you realize you have an issue.
--I spoke with Levi early this morning. This week's share will likely include: asparagus, lettuces, salad mix, green onions, and strawberries. Possible other times include radishes and kale/chard mixes. Free extra herbs will also be available.
--Last week, we were only sent 30 shares of asparagus. Levi found a box at the farm that didn't make it onto the truck. Those of you who missed asparagus last week were very gracious, and we appreciate that. Levi will be sending an extra share of asparagus for those who didn't get it last week.
--There will be extras available for order at pick up on Saturday and through email during the week. See the column on the right for a list of available items.
--If you ordered extra items, please remember your checkbook. Please do bring the book rather than just one check. Extras come from more than one farmer. Depending on your order, you may need to write more than one check. We will have change available if you will be paying cash.
--We're still working on settling the volunteer schedule. We had registrants as late as this week, and it's taking us a minute to get through matching the needs with your availability. Committee member Beth Harp will be in touch soon. Thanks for your patience with us on this!
--While registration is closed, we are getting a little bigger with transfers from other Twin Crooks sites, etc. Right now, we have 55 full shares. We are the largest in the group, and we have a full 10 shares more than we did last year. Thanks to all of you who spread the word for me.
--If you think another site may be more convenient for you to pick up at, please note that Westfield and Avon are having difficulty filling, and we can transfer your share for pick up there. Just let me know and I'll help you navigate the process. Note that both Avon and Westfield have pick up during the weekdays. You will have to pay another transportation fee, but you'll also be refunded the fee (prorated based on the date of transfer) from the Irvington group.
Enjoy your holiday weekend. We'll see you Saturday.
