What if I miss a vegetable pickup?
Vacations, busy schedules, and sometimes plain old forgetfulness might cause you to miss a pickup night. Unfortunately, because of the large number of families who come to the farm each week, it’s pretty difficult for Laura and her workers to make many adjustments to the schedule to accommodate missed pickups. If 7 p.m. comes and there are unclaimed vegetables, we will send them to the food pantry or soup kitchen if they are fragile and need to be eaten quickly (like leaf lettuce or peas), or keep them for the next pickup night if they are something that stores easily (like potatoes or onions). If you know ahead of time that you are going to be gone, the best solution is to send a neighbor or relative to pick up your vegetables for themselves or to save for you. If you are only going to be gone one week, sometimes Laura can switch you to the other night that week. Send an e-mail on the Saturday before you want to switch and she’ll let you know if it can be done. Arranging for the switch for weeks further into the future is unlikely. If you know you won’t be able to get to the farm before 7 p.m. some night, you can also e-mail Laura at least one day before to bag your vegetables for you to pick up later that evening. We can’t promise this will work every time, but we’ll try. If you forget (AGH!!!!), be happy knowing that your good food won’t be wasted. Either some hungry person or some other shareholder will be enjoying at least one nice meal that week thanks to you!
