Green is Our Gold!

Greetings from the Farm,We’ve hit our mid-March stride and while there are no leprechauns in sight, we definitely have an eye on what’s happening in Willowsford! 

Enjoying the Harvest: In the spirit of “Pi Day” this week, we’d like to shout out our partners: Harvest Symphony, who provide us with delicious gluten free pies and quiches. There are still some left in stock to order for Saturday pickup!

Let’s Talk Success: A Big THANK YOU! to everyone who participated in the Let’s Talk Trash Initiative this past weekend. We had 260 volunteers across all Villages participate and collect four full commercial dumpsters of trash! Way to go Willowsford! If you were unable to stop by the Boathouse afterwards to pick up your thank you eggs, please stop by the Farm on Saturdays from 9am-12pm or email farm@willowsfordfarm.com to coordinate a pick up. 

Upcoming Events: We have a lot happening on the horizon in April! Join us at Eggstravaganza to taste some Farm veggies and stock up on eggs! We’ll be hosting our signature Earth Day event on April 21st as well. Picnic boxes will soon be available for preorder on Barn2Door, more details soon to come! 

Connect With Us : Join us for one of our upcoming programs or volunteer alongside us. Visit the Conservancy Events, Instagram or Facebook pages for details.

2023 Off- Season Retail Program

Willowsford Farm will be offering limited a la carte sales of farm-fresh eggs, meat, pantry products and some root vegetables during the CSA off-season. Our growing season is over, but we have a bumper crop of root vegetables in proper storage to offer along with our Farm Stand pantry products and bounty of eggs. We understand that avian flu outbreaks in commercial operations and ongoing supply chain issues are causing a squeeze at local grocery stores, and we’ve decided to offer a trial program to continue sales of some of our products outside of the regular CSA season. If weekly participation is strong, we will continue to offer this smaller a la carte menu through April.  The farm is excited to trial this new off-season retail cycle, which will operate in the following manner:
  1. The Online Farm Store will be open for limited a la carte retail sales 10am Monday through 3pm Friday.
  2. There will be one location option for fulfillment: Saturday Pick Up at the Farm Pack Shed, with two time slots available, 9-10 am and 2-3 pm. We are not offering off-season home delivery.
  3. The cycle will function according to the following example: Orders placed between Monday 1/23 and Friday 1/27 will be available for pickup on Saturday 1/28 during the selected pick-up timeslot. Unclaimed orders will be notified via email EOB Saturday.
  4. A la carte purchases can be made using Store Credits and/or credit and debit cards. Please use your existing Barn2Door account. All inventory will be kept current in Barn2Door, please consider any low stock alerts to be accurate.
  5. Eggs will be available by the dozen, and inventory will be based on flock production. Our current flock has blessed us with abundance, but availability will be on a first-come first-served basis.
  6. Pantry products inventory will be according to current stock. Pantry product items are from the 2022 Farm Stand season and inventory will not be refreshed until the beginning of the 2023 CSA/Farm Stand season.
  7. Root vegetables will be available in current a la carte weights and packages.
  8. Meat bundles will be available for purchase based on current inventory. Throughout the off-season, we will be creating new bundle options as we work towards opening new space in our freezer.
  9. This will be ongoing beginning the first cycle, Monday, January 23rd tentatively running through Monday, April 24th. There will be no dedicated email communications announcing the Open/Close of the Online Farm Store, but there will be a reminder with a link to the Online Farm Store page in the weekly Farm Newsletter.
  10. This trial program is interest-based, and we encourage participants to spread the word to friends and neighbors. The Farm may announce and schedule a hiatus of retail sales or make changes to match interest in off-season purchasing. Any changes made will be communicated at least a week in advance.
  11. Questions about the off-season sales program can be directed to farm@willowsfordfarm.com
