You must pick up your share during your designated pickup time. We do not have the resources or capacity to set your share aside for a later pick-up. If you did not pick up your share on your pickup day, you cannot pick it up on another day, because it will already have been donated to charity. Neither can you pick up replacement share on another pickup day that week because we only get as many shares on each pickup day as we have members subscribed to that day.
The CSA Benefit:
If you are unable to have someone pick up your share, it will not be wasted. Unclaimed produce is donated to local charities or to the CSA’s surplus basket.
Tips for Success:
- Ask a friend or neighbor to pick up for you.
- Schedule your pickup day to coordinate with other food routines (try to do your grocery shopping after you see what your share contains).
- Work with another CSA member and trade off pick-up duties.
Produce shares not picked up are donated to Comin’ Home and/or to the Iskashitaa Refugee Harvesting Network. A limited quantity of less perishable produce is sometimes kept for our surplus basket.
Goat cheese shares not picked up are kept in our freezer for you to collect on your next visit. At the end of each three-month session, we donate unclaimed cheese shares to charity.
