This Wednesday, January 15, 2014 will start our first winter share delivery.
There will be 2 boxes for your household to pick up with each delivery, one frozen and one non-frozen box. The non- frozen items will be in a garage or covered with a blanket to insulate them from the cold. Please be sure to transfer your items from both boxes to your own box, bags, crate in order to reduce the amount of cardboard we consume. Those members who pick-up at Suncrest Gardens: boxes will be in the walk-in cooler and in the walk-in freezer unless other arrangements are made with Heather.
The box unfolds easily if you turn it upside down, and then gently push the smaller sides downward and out to bend the side along the crease. This will free the tabs and allow the box to fold flat. Ripping the bottom tabs without folding them first renders the boxes useless. Here’s a short video if you need more demonstration.

SuncrestGardens Pick-Up Site Guidelines
• It is your responsibility to pick up your share during your site’s scheduled hours and day/s. Unless other arrangements have been made ahead of time, produce that is not picked up during the site’s scheduled hours will be distributed or donated.
• Share pick-ups are self-serve and on the honor system. Your site will be open during the scheduled hours, but your site host will not necessarily be available. Bring a box, bags, or other container to transfer your items from your labeled CSA box into your own container to take home. Unfold your box and leave it at the pick-up site in a neat pile. Clean egg cartons can be stacked with boxes. For tips on how to break down your CSA box without tearing it so we can use it all season long, click on the video on our website.
• If you are unable to pick up your box on delivery day, please make arrangements for your produce ahead of time. A few options: ask someone else to pick up your box, ask the farm to not make a box for you that week, or ask your site host to hold your box for a later pick-up that day. Site hosts are not expected to hold produce overnight.
