Thank you everyone who participated in online ordering last week! This is completely new for us (and developed in the midst of an already very busy time of year), so we really appreciate your patience as we try to work out a new and efficient system for safely providing food for you all in these new circumstances.
We will once again offer vegetables (asparagus!), tulips and seedlings for online pre-orders this week. Pick-ups will be available Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and ordering will be available starting at 2pm the night before pick-up and closing at 5am the day of pick-up. (So the first cycle of orders for the week opens Tuesday 5/12 at 2pm and closes at 5am on Wednesday 5/13, with pick-ups available 2pm-6pm on Wednesday 5/13). Please note, we are not taking orders on Monday for Tuesday pick-up as we have found that we need extra time for inventory and order prep at the beginning of the week. We are once again using the Open Food Network platform for placing orders for this week. Please see our previous blog post for directions on how to place orders. We are still working on setting up another platform that will help us streamline how we track Barrett’s Bucks and will hopefully be more intuitive for users, but that is another week or two away. In the meantime, we are again asking that for this week, CSA members please do not use Bucks for purchases as we are still working on our system for tracking those purchases and only have the capacity to track our regular Bucks members for now.
The website for placing orders is: https://openfoodnetwork.net/barrett-s-mill-farm/shop#/shop. Please do not place orders over the phone or via email.
This week we will have the following available:
Asparagus
Salanova (Wednesday only)
Microgreens
Tulips
Seedlings - Parsley and Basil. Tomato seedlings will be available at the end of this week.
Raspberry Jam and Vinegar infusion from Silferleaf Farm in Concord (certified organic)
Mushrooms from Fat Moon Farm in Chelmsford (certified organic)
