With the recent heat the asparagus harvest has really picked up! This week we will begin our regular store hours Tuesday-Friday 11am - 6pm and Saturday 9am-3pm! Pre-ordering is also available for Tuesday and Friday pick-up this week (pick-ups are 2pm-6pm). Walk-up sales remain self-serve until May 31st so remember to bring exact change! Ordering will open today, Monday May 16th at noon for pick-up Tuesday May 17th (2pm - 4pm and 4pm - 6pm). We will open ordering for Friday on Wednesday at noon and we will likely have our first field spinach to add to the ordering options!

Available for pre-orders for Tuesday pick-up 2-6pm:

Herb seedlings: Basil, parsley, oregano, sage, thyme. All suitable for container or garden planting.
Tomato seedlings: Right now we have Chefs Choice Orange, a productive and tasty orange slicing tomato and Striped German, a yellow heirloom with pink streaks. We will have additional varieties in a couple of weeks including red slicers, more heirlooms, and cherry tomatoes. Keep indoors or covered until the chance of frost has passed.
Spring Mushroom CSA Week 4: It is week 4 of our 10-week spring Mushroom CSA from Fat Moon Farm! Mushroom CSA pick up is Tuesday 11am-6pm. Mushrooms this week will either be chestnuts or yellow oysters. We heard from the mushroom farmers that the mushrooms matured fast in this weekend’s heat so these are more delicate than usual and should be picked up and used within couple of days. If members order additional items from the online store then their entire pick-up will be ready at the time selected for online pick-up on Tuesday (2pm-4pm or 4pm-6pm). Any uncollected orders will be put away at 6pm on Tuesday evening and put out again Wednesday morning at 7am. Please email Melissa if you would like to arrange a different pick up day or time.
Online ordering tips and reminders:
Orders are open to everyone! You do not need to be a member to purchase.
You do not need to create an account to place an order.
Be sure to choose your pick-up time (there is a red drop-down menu in the upper right-hand of the screen). If you don’t choose a time, you won’t be able to see the items in the shop.
Once an item is sold out for the day, it disappears from the online shop.
Payments are made by credit card unless you are a Barrett’s Bucks member. Barrett’s Bucks members may select the “Bucks” payment option. (it says “free” in parentheses behind both payment options - this just means that it is free to use that payment option, not that the product is free!).
