Greetings from the Farm,
We’ve got a beautiful day ahead with a high in the low 80’s and it feels like the start of summer! Now that the 2023 Summer CSA is fully underway, we have several new additions to the Online Farm Store this week and new products at the Farm Stand! You may have noticed that we have the next week’s Farmer’s Choice contents are listed as possibilities, and truly anything is possible! An example would be this week’s Chives with Blossoms – quality is always top of mind, and things change in the field. We brainstorm the share contents a week out so there’s several days for conditions to change, orders to be cancelled and issues to arise. We strive to be flexible in what we can offer, how we get the product to you, and our understanding that life happens…so think of all the delightful possibilities for the shares the rest of the summer!
This Weeks Cycle: The Online Farm Store is open for business! We’re getting back into the groove of the CSA, which means the ordering cycle is now in effect. Place your order between Thursday June 1st and Sunday June 4th by 12pm for fulfillment on June 8/9/10.
Brand New Brands!: If you haven’t stopped by the Farm Stand yet this season, we encourage you to swing on by! We’ve just stocked some great new options, including hummus, chips, crackers, jerky sticks and (of course) more ice cream varieties! We’ve also brought back some of our favorite Olipop flavors – Lemon Lime, Orange Squeeze and Cream Soda.
Quality Control : If you purchased Chives with Blossoms a la carte, you will be receiving a refund this weekend. Due to quality concerns, we chose not to include Chives in the Farmer’s Choice this week and refund our custom orders. You should receive an email from Barn2Door in the coming days that your refund has been processed.
The Day Gets Away: Forget to pick up your share? If you forget to pick up your order on Thursday from the Boathouse or Farm Stand, it will be available to pick up on Saturday from 9am-1pm at the Farm Stand in the Grange. Unclaimed shares will be donated to the local food pantry on Wednesday, so if you miss the Saturday pick up, please email us at farm@willowsfordfarm.com to schedule an alternative pick up time.
Traveling this Summer?: Please let us know!! The farther in advance the better, we are happy to make adjustments to your pick up or delivery. We’d also like to politely remind folks that most last minute adjustments can be accommodated, but we do appreciate timely notice for need of changes to your schedule.

Eat well, be well,
– The Willowsford Farm Team
