Hello! This is a quick introductory email to make sure you know all the details of picking up your Upswing Farm Summer CSA!
You are scheduled to pick up:
DAY: Thursday, June 10th (pick up is every Thursday for 16 weeks)
TIME: 4pm-7pm
LOCATION: At our Farm, 65 Brookline St, Pepperell (but more like 60 Brookline St, pick up will be near our greenhouses, farm sign and parking lot just east of the main farm/barn entrance)
Parking
There is plenty of parking. Please drive slowly and courteously.
What to bring
A few reusable shopping bags, a plastic laundry tote, a cardboard box . . . a LARGE cooler. We've seen all kinds of cool solutions. Some people like to bring their own small produce bags.
Masks and Social Distancing
Per the CDC guidelines we will not be requiring masks at our open-air pick up. Our staff will happily put on a mask if you would like, but we are all fully vaccinated. Please use the provided hand sanitizer before collecting your produce, and give each other space while picking up.
What pick up will be like
- Arrive and check in with the stand attendant. We need to know you came! Please do not pick up produce without checking in. The stand attendant will also tell you if there is anything special you need to know.
-
Pick up your veggies! Walk along the table display and read the signs and select your produce. If you would like to trade any produce let the stand attendant know, we will have a trade bin.
What if . . .
I know I can't make it to a pick up? You have a few options:
- Send someone in your place, anyone, no need to let us know someone is picking up for you.
- Let us know and we can put a share aside for you. Ideally you'll pick up within 48 hours of your scheduled pick up time. We will tell you where the cooler is and how to get your produce when you come.
Running Late: Please text or call the farm phone 508-215-8378. We can leave a share for you to pick up. Or schedule another pick up time.
Missing a Week: No need to tell us if you plan to send someone in your place (which we encourage). If you don't plan to pick up your share, email kevin@upswingfarm.com and we will make sure your share makes it to a local food pantry.
Add Family Members/Friends to weekly email list: You are the primary contact for your share, but you can add anyone (with their permission!) to the weekly CSA email list by completing this extra short form: SUBSCRIBE TO WEEKLY CSA EMAILS.
