MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 23/53 of 2020
Dear Farm Members,
Rather than sharing farm news this week, it feels more appropriate to focus on the heavy events in our country right now.
Thanks everyone for paying attention, and doing your part to make change happen.
Respectfully,
John Tecklin
HOW TO PICK UP DURING COVID-19 OUTBREAK:
1. Check the delivery list each week. The delivery list is an integral part of our operation. We ask that you bring your own pen to the drop site and initial for your order on the delivery list. As always, please only take what has been delivered for you.
2. We ask that you only touch the box/bag/bouquet that are a part of your order.
3. We are asking that you pick up your box from the site and take it home with you to prevent the amount of time you are spending at your CSA site. If you’d like to pack it into a reusable bag, please feel free to do that at your car. Please bring your empty box back each week for reuse.
4. If you are sick, please send a friend to pick up for you and let them know about the pick up procedure. If you cannot leave home, or need help with pickup, please let us know and we will endeavor to find a way to get you your box.
5. All produce has been packed by farm employees who are in good health and following our food safety policies.
We will be temporarily shortening the pickup hours for all sites and asking you to pick up by 7 pm. Please maintain social distancing while you pick up. If you have an issue, let us know and we will help sort it out.
If there's a problem, please take what we’ve delivered for you and contact us by email or phone.
If you share your subscription, please make sure you check in every week about who will pick up so one of you does not accidentally take someone else's order.
If you send someone else to pick up for you, please make sure they know the pick up procedure.
