HOME DELIVERY For the best share, we strongly recommend leaving a cooler out to protect your share from heat and squirrels. Be sure it can fit the 13x11x10 CSA box. Or email Molly to request a styrofoam cooler for $10 We cannot provide specific time estimates but you can expect a relatively consistent delivery time once we get into the rhythm of our route.

Pickup deadline is Friday at noon, all boxes donated after this time. Most group sites are self-serve, just check off beside your name and enjoy!
