Happy New Year!!

 

We are very excited to return communication regarding your Field To Fork farm shares for 2021. We are still dealing with Covid adjustments and a skinny staff so please know changes and adjustments are to be expected as we get this growing season off to a great start. I hope I cover all your questions in this message...

 

This Thursday we will have your produce at your Local pickup location. For this first week as we all get back into the groove we will pack you the "farmers choice". This will get us all in the new routine and weekly packing/harvesting and scheduling for the farm and for you. We will begin the first week with some fresh crops and some storage crops. Next week we will start adding more items and opening the online ordering.

 

If you need to set a hold or have a vacation coming soon please set your holds on your account. Link http://csa.farmigo.com/account/fieldtoforkorganicfarm/2021farmpass In your account you will see the vacation hold tab and this helps us very much if you take the time to login and get used to using the Farm Software. This is also how you will customize your weekly share. Save your settings for easier use. You can do this on your smart phone or computer.

 

If you are wanting to shop at the farm stand we will have all our farm products set out Saturday and Sunday 11-3pm for your choice and we will issue you a farm card for your shopping convenience and to help farm staff with membership accounting. We will also pack some CSA shares that will be grab and go for palisade members. We will set the Grab and Go bags in the Farm Stand Thursday afternoon with your name on it and you can grab them anytime after 1pm Thursdays. This will allow for immune compromised or for members to order online. Grab and Go shares will be available in the farm stand Thursday-Sunday. 

 

At the same time every Thursday we will distribute around Mesa County. We will be delivering to The Hog and The Hen, Skips Market in Fruita and Bookcliff Gardens. You can grab your farm shares anytime after 3pm at those locations. We will try to hang out at some of these locations through out the season to say Hi and see you. Mostly we will be at the Hog and the Hen as this is our largest distribution and we will distribute out of our Veggie Truck From 3-4:30. After 4:30 we will set the remainder shares with the store clerk at the Hog and the Hen. At Skips Market and Bookcliff Gardens we will have a obvious spot for you to grab your share. These businesses close at 6! Please don't forget... Set an alarm on your phone.

 

We will not box shares but use paper bags this season. We do not want the bags returned. Please don't leave bags or trash at the host sites.

 

On the farm we are still enjoying turning our oven on and I want you to try my favorite Spaghetti Squash recipe!

This is so tasty and fun and the best tacos or taco bowls!
