Members are encouraged to use the Recipe Index to help with the storage, preparation, and usage of vegetables in their share. Each week in the newsletter there is information about using your share. In addition to that we encourage members to join us on facebook and use that as a recipe dialog space with other members.
Pick Your Own (PYO) crops are available to be picked by members any day of the week during daylight hours and only in dry conditions. Check the PYO page for updates regarding what crops are open, quantities members may take, and weather condition at the farm.
We encourage members to read their weekly newsletter to keep updated with what’s happening on the farm, how the crops are doing, and what crops are on the way. Members may also check the What’s In page as well.
