Fall shares are starting this week! Farm Happenings for October 30, 2020

Posted on October 26th, 2020 by Kimberly Decker

Welcome to the Millsap Farms Fall CSA share.  If you're new to the CSA, welcome, and thanks for joining us this fall for some fabulous fall bounty.  If you're continuing from the summer share, there's a couple of key differences you need to be aware of.  

1. All on-farm pickups are on Fridays NOT TUESDAYS! Be there between 4 and 6pm if you want to pick out your own vegetables, or we will pack your box and you can pick up out of the cooler from Friday evening through Monday mid-day. Please be aware that if you don't pickup your share by Monday afternoon, we will find other homes for it, either by donating it to Ozarks Food Harvest, or by reincorporating the more durable items into the farm inventory for the following week.  If you need to pickup your share after Monday, for whatever reason, please email us or send me a text, and we'll continue to hold it; we're always glad to do this, and it's no hardship at all, we just don't have the extra space to store shares indefinitely without some idea of when they will be picked up. 

 2. If you receive a home delivery, that will be delivered Saturday between 8am and 2pm.  If you have provided a phone number for your share, you'll get a text when your share has been delivered.

3. If you pickup in the Rountree neighborhood (Kentwood address), then you will pickup Fridays between 4 and 6pm

4. Farmers Market pickup will continue to be from 8-1 Saturdays at our stall at Farmer Market of The Ozarks.

5.  The one exception to all this is the week of Thanksgiving, when everything will happen on Wednesday, the 25th. 

6. Due to the altered time frame, each week's harvest estimate will go out on Monday evening, and you will have until Thursday at 8a.m. (basically two days) to swap, purchase extras, or otherwise alter your shares. 

7.  For every other week shares:  Every so often, Harvie has a glitch, and schedules youre fruit/cheese/egg/or vegetables on alternating weeks instead of the same weeks.  If this seems to be the case for you, please email us asap, and we'll get it fixed in a jiffy. 

If you need assistance at any point, emailing Support@harvie.farm is usually the most reliable way to get CSA share questions answered.  Also feel free to email or text me at any point as well; 4178390847, millsapfarms@gmail.com .  

We're excited about the variety of cool season vegetables heading your way, and hope that you enjoy eating them as much as we enjoy growing them.  Next week in farm news we'll talk about why we have chosen organic growing practices, and what that means for your investment in good food.  

Thank you,

Farmer Curtis
