Hello Members!
The first box is right around the corner, Thursday, June 13th! You will be getting an email about your delivery that tells you the when and the where in case you are not sure. You can also always log into your account and look under "Next Delivery" where you will find all of the info you need about where and when to pick up your share.
A few things to know:
ALWAYS take the box with your name on it that is from BLACKBROOK FARM! If someone is picking your box up for you, please tell them to take the box with your name on it from BLACKBROOK FARM! This is very important.
Please return your box either the same week (bring a bag to empty your veggies into) or the following time you pick up your box. Please collapse your box and neatly stack it or put it where the other boxes are.
REMEMBER TO SET YOUR PREFERENCES!!! This is the only way this CSA platform knows what you like! Do this today or tomorrow, please. Log in to your account and click on "my preferences" on the left hand side.
Please note that the first couple boxes will be a little light and there are not as many crop options. This is a typical spring thing, but this year is probably the wettest and coldest we have ever seen. That means crops are growing slowly and there is less variety than we would like. That being said, you will be getting items in your box that may not hit you 5 star preference. This is what CSA means! We will make it up by putting in more value in the summer boxes.
We are delivering a 1 BU box this year. All previous year we have delivered in a 3/4 bushel box. This is because we want to make sure there is enough room for you to be able to add-on extras at any point. This includes pork (we will put the meat in a foiled package in the box!), your mushroom share if you get it and any other add-ons (at this point we do not have extra veggies, but we will!!). So, the boxes will not be as full because it is a bigger box.
We have pork add-on extras starting next week! You will find extras to add-on during your customization period starting today. Yummy!
We are excited to start out year!
Please email with any questions,
Best,
Blackbrook Farm
