First share of the season!
Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for joining the CSA Club for our third season! We’re thrilled to share a summer of fresh, delicious veggies with you.
This year, we’ve expanded with new pick-up locations and groups to meet our growth goals. While this means even fresher produce for you (yay!), it also means a tighter turnaround for the ATue group @ Monochrome. Here’s how we’re adapting:
-
Newsletter Timing:
On a perfect day, we’ll receive produce from Nichols Farm on Tuesday morning and have it ready for you by 6 PM. However, I typically like to see (and taste) the veggies before writing newsletter blurbs since varieties and sizes can vary so much. To avoid delays, the email version of the newsletter will list the veggies without blurbs. Full blurbs will be added by Wednesday night and updated within the newsletter on our website.
-
Potential Delivery Delays:
Occasionally, Nichols Farm’s deliveries run late (sometimes arriving in the afternoon). If this happens, we’ll communicate ASAP and may need to adjust: If this every happens on an ATue day, we might have some issues. The best we can do is ask for flexibility form you all. If we think we’ll be running late, we’ll communicate it as soon as possible, and if we think we’ll be running so late as to not be ready Tuesday night, we might flex to Wednesday afternoon deliveries to make it work. So I apologize in advance if we have to do some shifting around and appreciate all the grace and patience that you all give us.
We hope you all enjoy the veggies, and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or feedback!
