Pick up details

all of your burning questions answered
  • How do I break down my CSA box?

Please return your waxed box to the pick-up site each week. We have a big blue lobster crate for them to be placed in. Please don't rip any of the flaps trying to flatten your box. Watch this charmingly boring video for instructions on unfolding your box without destroying it. If you forget one week, just bring it the next time!

  • How do I know which pick-up day I am assigned?
Upon our receipt of your payment, we will send you an email confirming your membership and assigned pick-up day.
  • What if my preferred pick-up day is not available? 
If your chosen pick-up day is full, you will be contacted to see if the alternate pick-up day is acceptable. Your check will be returned if we cannot accomodate you.
  • When is the first pick up day?
You will be notified by email one week before the first pick-up.  We expect this to be in the last week of May or the first weeks of June.
  • What if I cannot make it to a pick-up day?
You are more than welcome to send a friend or family member in your place.
Please remind them to follow proper pick-up etiquette and sign in.  
  •  What if I forget to pick-up my share?
Sorry, we can only accept pick-ups during the stated pick-up days and hours. (okay, okay, many of you have found out we are softies and will often save forgotten shares for you to grab the next day.  Please at least call to let us know.) We donate forgotten shares to family, crew, and the Wrentham Food Pantry.  
 
  • Can I get half of a share or split my share?

We have decided not to complicate our distribution system by offering half shares.  You are welcome to find someone who wants to split your share with you, but we ask that you deal with the logistics at your own site, and remind you that our shares are not designed to be split (you may need to actually use a knife to divide a cabbage, for example). One simple way to split a share is to alternate pick-up weeks, but beware certain items appear only once.  

  •  What if there is something in my share I know I won't use?

We will have a take-it-or-leave-it basket at the pick-up site.  You can leave something you don't care for and perhaps pick up a treasure that someone else has left behind.
