The Full Plate Farm Collective

QUANTITY

One share is meant to supply two adults or a family household for a week. 

Please DO NOT take food for canning and preserving. 

VARIETY

We work to give the best variety we can by including 8-10 vegetables each week. 

U-pick crops available in addition to the weekly share.

We offer one size share. By offering only one share we are able to lower our administrative inputs and keep our costs to you lower!

We do not sell half shares. 

BOXES 

You may split a boxed share as you please. 

FREE CHOICE 

We strongly discourage share-splitting at free choice pickups, it's easy to take advantage. One of the beauties of our CSA is that members are encouraged to take whatever they need for that week on an honor system. We won't be able to continue to offer free choice pick-up if share-splitting occurs.

FREE CHOICE - YES 

If something comes up last minute, just go to another day's pick up (W 3-7 @ Stick and Stone, Th 4-7 @ Press Bay, S 10-2 @ Youth Farm)

BOXES - NO 

But you can double later! Please email Molly by Monday at 5pm of the week that you want to hold delivery. You may double up another week in the season. Consider having a friend our house sitter pick up your share. 

FREE CHOICE

Come to another day's pickup! Or, be in communication. Call or email Molly to make a plan! She can leave a box.

BOXES  

please communicate with your site host directly!

FREE CHOICE - yes!

 Just have them sign in under your name, and introduce themselves to Molly. She'll show them the ropes. 

BOXES - Yes! 

Just have them check off under your name

If you're not sure if you are in the right spot check the Group Site Details page, your share should be waiting for you  in a 1/2 bushel waxed box on Thursdays.

If you're sure your share isn't there call Molly right away and we will make sure to get it to you! We keep extra shares until Friday at noon.

Farm pickups happen once a week at each location (Stick and Stone, Youth Farm Project and Press Bay Court).

Boxed shares are delivered on Thursdays and must be picked up by Friday at noon. Please note most sites are NOT refrigerated. Check the group site details page for details.

FREE CHOICE 

Free choice share size is about one paper grocery bag full but please pack in your own reusable bags!

BOXES  

Boxed shares come in reusable 5/9 bushel wax coated boxes.

7 days a week during daylight hours! 

Stick and Stone and the Youth Farm host U-picks with herbs, flowers and veggies to fill out your share!

If you are a Full Plate member, U-Pick is included in your share - there is no additional cost! And use of the u-picks is unlimited! Bring sunscreen, garden gloves, scissors and your own container. Come during farm pickup times if you'd like Molly to show you around.

Squeeze the top flap back until the tabs release from the side slits.  DO NOT PULL STRAIGHT UP ON THE BOX, the food will wait for you!  If you are doing it right, it won't tear. When you are done, please flatten the box doing the same thing to the bottom of the box.

UNFOLD them and bring it back to your pickup spot! These boxes cost over a dollar a piece and are good for several uses if they are handled properly. You're also welcome to drop them off at Stick and Stone Farm. We will reuse them for as long as we can! They are not recyclable because of the wax! 

For the summer CSA, we offer a $20 discount to returning members paying in full before March 31st. Or, forego your discount and we'll donate $20 to Healthy Food For All.

SUMMER  -  $120  ($56 for HFFA)

WINTER  -  $105  ($55 for HFFA)

See the Summer CSA or Winter CSA page for payment information.

Life happens, we get it! Please call or email Molly sooner than later - we can work together and figure something out. Your agreement with us is for the entire season, DO NOT just stop coming and expect that we will stop counting on you to pay for your share - just be in communication and we'll work it out :)

Each share paid on paypal costs us $17-$20. We prefer checks so all of your money stays in the community and goes directly to our farmers.

FULL PLATE

Checks should be made out to Full Plate Farm Collective 

FRUIT BOWL

Checks should be made out to Finger Lakes Fruit Bowl. You may NOT combine your fruit and veg payments into one check, Fruit Bowl is a separate business.
