** PLEASE READ THE FARM HAPPENINGS**
This is where we let you know important updates, news, specials happenings etc. Very Important stuff!
Current Updates:
- Reminder- Change to Cut Off Time:
- The cut of time is moved to Sunday night vs. the normal Mondays. You will still have 2 full days to change your box & shop the extras.
- We have had a huge increase in sign ups and the amount of extras items being purchased. We now need Mondays just to get prepared!
- Last Winter Delivery:
- This is the last delivery of the winter! SO, please return your boxes & red bags.
- Asparagus: We have had some funny weather (meaning really freaking cold!)... so the asparagus has had some struggles getting going, BUT now that the weather is getting warmer, it is finally starting to grow and we may have some to harvest mid way through the week. This means you may receive some in your share (even if you didn't put it in your box). If you happen to get some & do not like asparagus, you can gift it to friends or family.
- Summer Sign Up:
- We have a record breaking numbers of sign ups for shares- we may close sign up soon & mark them as "sold out". SO, this means if you have not sign up & would like to... you need to ASAP!
- Reminder: Chicken Share is on a wait list until July. Email us to get on the waitlist.
COOPERS FARM HAPPENINGS:

- Spring Babies:
- We've had more calves, more baby chicks, & now we have piglets coming in the next couple of days!
