You’re Invited!! We want to see you at the farm

Are you curious about where your veggies are grown? Would you like to spend a few hours with some like-minded people in your CSA community? Visit the farm and see it all for yourself. Spend time with our CSA Farmily, build community, and share in the work, food, and refreshments. Tasks are available for all ages and skill levels. Shade provided. Farm tour after the harvest. Rain/Mud date will be the following Saturday – July 25

Please let us know if you plan to attend – Text Joely at 607 697-3197 or reply to your weekly email – Thanks

We can’t wait to see you at the farm!

Going on Vacation? Here is the info from the CSA Handbook

WHAT IF I GO ON VACATION? WHAT HAPPENS TO MY SHARE?
We do not credit your account or double up on a bag later.
But you have a few options:

Send a substitute in your place. Find a friend to take your bag for you and either
store it until you return OR eat it themselves! It’s a great way to expose others to our
CSA.
Switch your delivery location. TWO times each season, you are allowed to
switch your pick-up site. So if your bag can be picked up at the later end of the week
somewhere else (after you return), you may request a change in pick-up.
Ask us to hold your bag at the farm for 24 hours. We won’t hold your bag for
any longer than that, as we do not have the storage. We’ll label your bag with your
name. You can schedule a time to come to the farm to pick it up.
Please let us know if you are aware that you will not pick up your share. If
you do not pick up your share or notify us your share may be donated to a family of
our choosing.
If you need to make a one-time adjustment due to vacation, please let us know as
soon as possible but at least by midnight the Sunday before your delivery so we can
make adjustments to our harvest numbers. To do so, please email us at
info@EGFCSA.com or text Joely at 607 697-3197

Working on drainage to help stop our recent flooding this season

We took this past week to add more tile pipe drainage to a spot in the field that has caused a bit of water damage this season. This retention pit should help slow down the water that has been drowning some of our plants in water this season. One issue that we have is that there are old clay drainage pipe throughout our main field that have collapsed or broken so we are adding drainage pipe where we can to help the water to drain better.
