Please note that we may shift the start/end dates by one week based on the weather and how the crops are doing. We’ll always adjust the schedule to ensure you receive the full value of the share you paid for.
IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR PICK-UP LOCATION:
While we’ll gladly accommodate you if you need to change your pick-up once or twice, we ask that you choose one location and stick to it.
Logistically, we aren’t able to track multiple changes from week to week. We commit to you and work hard to deliver your share as scheduled, and we ask that you in turn pick up at the scheduled time.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU MISS A PICK-UP
If you know you’re going to miss pick-up, you have three options:
- Have someone else pick up for you
- Contact us at least 1 day beforehand to switch your day.
- Donate your share to the Worcester Food Shelf.
If you miss pick-up without notifying us ahead of time:
Montpelier members: Email us that night, and we’ll hold your share at the farm store. For example, if you pick-up on Mondays in Montpelier, you can come to the farm store to get your share when we open on Wednesday. Our store hours are: Wednesday – Friday, 9:00 am – 6:00 pm. CSA shares must be picked up during the week.
*Once you’ve emailed us and received confirmation* please come to the farm store and tell the shopkeeper that you’re picking up your missed Montpelier share.
If you miss pick-up without notifying us ahead of time, and miss the extended pick-up window, we aren’t able to offer you another share that week, as we’ve already harvested for you. Any missed shares will be donated to the Worcester Food Shelf.
Worcester Members: you can pick-up anytime Wednesday – Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. CSA shares cannot be picked up on the weekend.
