The Farm

We understand that there are times when life events or busy schedules can get in the way of picking up your CSA Share. For our small farm crew, it can be difficult to accommodate all requests for alternative pick-up times given the structure of our harvest and packing days. Here are all the alternative pick-up options we have available if you are unable to make your regularly scheduled pick-up time:

• You can have someone else pick up your share. The person picking up your share needs to know your name and share size. Letting our Farm Manager know in advance that someone will be picking up your share on your behalf is helpful, but not absolutely necessary.
• You are welcome to skip a week if it makes more sense for your schedule, if you are not going through your produce as fast, etc.
• You can email our Farm Manager (liz@blandfordnaturecenter.org) ahead of your regularly scheduled pick up day. We need to know of any requests for altered pick-ups by the Sunday before pick-up day at the very latest.
• You can get Market Credit. There are times when life events and things beyond our control happen. In this case, the value of your share may be applied to purchasing items from our Farmers Market stall. Our Farm Manager needs to get this request ahead of time so our farm crew can be made aware of who has market credit and how much.

• When you receive your confirmation email after purchasing a CSA Share online, there is a link to pay your remaining balance at the bottom of the email.
• You can call the front desk at (616) 735-6240 and pay with a card over the phone.
• Cash, Card, or Check payments can be made in-person at the front desk.
• You can pay your remaining balance at the Fulton Street Farmers Market. Please let our Farm Manager (liz@blandfordnaturecenter.org) know ahead of time if you plan on paying your remaining balance this way.
