We do not sell retail, so our distribution centers are open to our CSA program members only.

Rain is not a reason to switch your pick-up day. Please keep in mind that crops still grow and are harvested on rainy days, so we need members to pick up on their pick-up days. Please also remember that we close at 7pm on weekdays. You must finish your PYO harvesting and be out of the distribution centers & PYO fields by 7pm. Also, please read the October edition of our monthly newsletter on this website.

The episode of the PBS show, “Growing a Greener World” that was partly filmed at our farms first aired on PBS on Saturday, September 25th and is now available to view online (www.growingagreenerworld.com).

Help! We need grocery bags in both distribution centers and we need you to recycle our quart, pint and ½ pint containers! Don’t forget that you can reuse the small produce bags used in the distribution centers. Your reuse of these bags and PYO containers will help us save hundreds of dollars in packaging costs and, of course, be more sustainable. Thanks!

PENNINGTON MEMBERS: There may be broccoli, carrots, arugula, chard, peppers, transitional winter squash, transitional pumpkins and slicing tomatoes in the distribution center. Kale, collards, parsley and cilantro may be in one choice group; Chinese cabbage and radicchio may be in another.
