Members pick up their shares once a week, either at the farm, which is near Wrightsville and Sam Lewis State Park in York County, or at one of our Lancaster pick-up sites: Friends Meetinghouse just off of Columbia Ave. or East Chestnut Street Mennonite Church. Pick-up times at the farm are on Tuesday or Friday from 2-7 p.m., or Saturday morning from 9-12. Pick-up at the Friends Meetinghouse is Tuesday from 3:00-6:00. Pick-up at East Chestnut Street Mennonite Church is Friday from 3:00-6:00. One of the farmers will be there to greet you, answer questions and tell you about what is in your share for the week. The produce is displayed on tables, much like at a farmers market, with signs telling you how much of that particular item you can take. You may take your entire share of each item, or you can take less or none of any item. A bi-weekly newsletter which contains recipes and news of the farm accompanies each share. Members who pick-up at the farm are encouraged to take some time to pick their own flower bouquets and herbs and to see what's growing in the fields. Members who pick up at the Lancaster site may want to occasionally come to the farm to pick up their produce, or just to cut some flowers and herbs and spend some time on the farm. Some members who live close to each other take turns picking up the shares. If you occasionally need to change your pick-up day because of a scheduling conflict, just let us know ahead of time. If you are going away on vacation you can have friends or family members pick up and enjoy your share that week.People frequently ask how many people one share will feed. As you may imagine, this can be difficult to answer because people's diets vary greatly. We generally say that a share feeds 2 to 4 people with a mixed diet, or 1 to 2 vegetarians. Some families split a share with another family. One point to keep in mind is that you do not have to take more than you can use.
