| When and Where Do I Get My Produce? To pick up their produce, CSA members come directly to Goldfinch Farm or to our pick-up sites in and near Lancaster City. You choose one option to be your regular pick-up place and time, but we are happy to make occasional changes if you give us a day's notice. You will find the produce displayed much like it would be at a farmers market. We're there to explain what, and how much, is in the share for that week. You may take up to a specified amount of each item, and can leave any unwanted items from your share for other members. We invite people who pick up at the farm to explore the fields to see what is growing, and to visit the pick-your-own patch where you can choose your own flowers for beautiful bouquets, and fresh herbs to accompany your vegetables. |
| LOCATIONS AND TIMES: |
| Goldfinch Farm: Pick-up times are Tuesdays or Fridays from 2-7 pm or Saturdays from 9-12 in the morning.

| We invite members who get their shares at the Lancaster site to come to the farm occasionally to pick flowers and herbs and to see where your food is coming from. We will regularly update the News page on the web site with pictures and notes about the current crops and people on the farm, so keep checking back! Our bi-weekly newsletter includes tips on food storage and recipes and ideas for using your vegetables. |
