Pick Up Boxes: Fresh veggies, with a flexible schedule
Over the years many customers have enjoyed being part of our weekly "Farm Share" program, also known as a CSA or Community Supported Agriculture program. After some changes for our family on and off the farm, we took a break from our traditional delivery program in 2022. In the 2023 season, we brought the program back with a few changes. First, we changed the commitment for both us, as growers, and our customers to make it more flexible. Second, we've changed the delivery to a farm or farmers market pick up. Pick up boxes have become a popular way for people to enjoy fresh veggies when they have the time to cook and eat at home. We hope you give it a try! To learn more, read through the frequently asked questions below.
What is a Farm Pick Up Box?
When produce is plentiful, packages of fresh vegetables from the farm are available for purchase. Emails and social media posts are shared on Tuesday evenings with the contents of the box, cost of the box and pick up time/location. Boxes are available to reserve on a first come, first serve basis. The number of boxes is limited. Farm pick up boxes may not be available every week - only when extra produce is on hand.
How much do boxes cost?
Typically boxes cost between $20 and $25.
How do I know when Farm Pick Up Boxes are available?
To receive emails from the farm, please share your email with us and/or follow Bode's Moonlight Gardens on Facebook. We share updates and information in both places.
Can I sign up in advance for a pick up box?
We do not accept advance orders, because we can't guarantee that a box will be available every week. Reservations will be accepted after the details of the box have been shared via email and/or on Facebook.
Can I purchase large amounts of tomatoes for canning?
Yes! Typically we begin offering tomatoes in bulk, along with sauce and salsa packages in mid to late August through early September. Please contact us to arrange a delivery or pick up date.
