The crew is all smiles in the sunny warm weather this week - we hope the strawberry plants will be happy about it too! In addition to uncovering strawberries (removing their winter mulch) this week we are also seeding lettuce, tomatoes and flowers in the greenhouse as well as seeding more peas, carrots, beets and spinach in the fields. We will also be harvesting of course!
This week produce will be available via online pre-orders for on-farm pick-up on Friday April 14th from 2pm-4pm and 4pm-6pm! We are not yet open for walk-up sales. Online ordering opens today, Tuesday April 11th, at noon and will remain open until Friday April 14th at 8am. Pick-ups will be on the porch of our farm stand at 449 Barretts Mill Rd. Concord, MA. In addition to greens grown in our high tunnels, we also have shiitake mushrooms from Fat Moon Farm for sale this week! If we sell out of an item it will disappear from the store, however check back Thursday as we expect to be able to add additional inventory as the week goes on. We may even be able to add some new items by the end of the week including radishes and daffodils if this warm weather helps them mature by Friday! If you place two separate orders this week we will combine them for pick-up. If you need to communicate a change in your pick-up plans, email is a better way to reach us than phone calls. You can conact Melissa at melissa@barrettsmillfarm.com.

Directions:
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 or would like to pay using an EBT card. It says “free” in parentheses by all payment options - this just means that it is free to use that payment option, not that the product is free!
Barrett’s Bucks: Barrett’s Bucks members may select the “Bucks” payment option and we will deduct your purchase from your balance.
EBT card users: We are now a HIP vendor! Please email melissa@barrettsmillfarm.com before ordering to arrange a specific pick-up time for using your card as pick-ups are otherwise self-serve. Later in the season when the farm store is staffed this won’t be necessary.
