What’s In for Pick Your Own for CSA Members
Pick your own is open every day. You can come anytime during daylight hours.
Picking limits are per week that you have a CSA share.
Members with delivered shares can pick twice the limits if they don’t make it to the pick your own area every week that they have a CSA box.
Take a handful of each herb as desired:
Cilantro walk down the bed to the shorter plants, please use clippers to pick.
Parsley – Curly and Flat
Perennial Herbs: Oregano, Thyme, Spearmint, Peppermint, Sage, Winter Savory
Cut flowers: You are welcome to pick a bouquet of flowers that made it through the frost. Phlox, native grasses, snapdragons and verbena are some of the hardier ornamentals but there may be some others still in good shape.
Green and wax beans: Help yourself to beans under the frosted tops if they are still okay
Cherry tomatoes: They are protected by the caterpillar but the cold is still slowing them down. 1/2 pint per small share and 1 pint per standard or large share as available
Hot Peppers: Take a few handfuls if not damaged by frost. Jalapeno, Hot Cherry, Cayenne, Serrano, Habanero. Ones under plants will be in better share
Raspberries: Half pint per small share and one pint per standard share if they are still okay after last night
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!
