Our Pledge to You~Updated 8/25/2020
- Our Farmhands are trained in CDC guidelines for hand washing and sanitizing and and everyone who handles food — in the field, in the packing barn, or in the market.
- When social distancing is not an option and inside our buildings, our team will wear a face covering.
- All Farmhands are symptom and temperature checked before each shift.
- Frequently touched surfaces are sanitized regularly during operation.
- We will support social distancing by offering walking rather than wagon rides to pick-your-own for blackberries in July.
- We will provide hand washing/sanitizing options before entering the field for our farmhands and PYO guests.
- We will provide new containers for pick-your-own to ensure a single use for safety.
- Social Distancing is required. We ask groups to remain at least 6ft apart when picking and playing at the farm.
- Our CSA Farm Shares will be packed in single-use liner bags, which will be sealed with tamper-evident tape. That way, members can be sure their food has been touched by only the picker and the packer.
