What’s In for Pick Your Own for CSA Members
Members with delivered shares can pick twice the limits if they don’t make it to the pick your own area every week
Take a handful of each herb as desired:
Cilantro, Dill
Mexican mint marigold: use like tarragon, pick high so more will grow
Parsley – Curly and Flat
Perennial Herbs: Oregano, Thyme, Spearmint, Peppermint, Sage, Winter Savory
Edible flowers and tea herbs: pansies, calendula flowers, chamomile flowers, sacred basil- take a handful
Cut flowers: Just starting! Pick a small short stemmed bouquet so that more flowers will grow. Calendula, Cynoglossum, Bachelors Buttons and more flowers coming soon.
Peas: Snow peas – flat and thumb size, take a handful. Snap peas – fat and thumb size, small shares take a half pint and standard shares a pint.
Pick-Your-Own crops are included as part of your share! They are available to pick any day of the week during daylight hours. Check the box to the left to see what is available. When you come to the farm, you can check the picking locations and weekly limits on the brown-and-yellow sign near the distribution tent. Containers and clippers are provided, though you may bring your own if you wish.
Each year we offer an abundance of Pick-Your-Own (PYO) crops at the farm. Most of your share will be harvested and washed for you to pick up at the farm or in your delivered box. However, shares also include PYO crops to give farm members the opportunity to get out in the field and pick items like flowers, beans, peas, herbs, and more.
Whether you pick up your share here at the farm or have a delivered box share, we encourage all members to come and enjoy the farm!
