If you weren’t able to sign up in time for our first week’s shares, not to worry! You can still sign up for week two and join in the splendor. As we embark on another year of managing a pandemic, please know that staff and volunteers will continue to do everything they can to keep everyone safe. With that in mind, we have a few updates: Curbside Pick-Up: Many of our Fresh Stops will have a curbside pick-up option available. Look for a sign or pull up near the distribution area and a staff member or volunteer will check you in and put your share in your vehicle for you! Please Wear a Mask: While the CDC has announced that vaccinated individuals do not need to wear a mask, we aim to continue looking out for everyone, especially vulnerable populations, by masking up! Please wear a mask while picking up your share. Keep Your Distance: We all need a little space! Please avoid crowding tables and maintain distance between yourselves and other shareholders when waiting for your share and from volunteers when collecting your shares. Prepackaged Shares: All of our shares will be prepackaged, again, this season! One of our volunteers will direct you to the correct share size when at the Fresh Stop. Sensitive items, like tomatoes and peaches, will be packaged in their own bags for protection. Welcome, if this is your first veggie adventure with City Fresh! And welcome back if you already know the ropes! We're glad you're here! 🍓 #cityfresh #csa #eatlocal #shoplocal

Rounding out the week with an update from a little corner of George Jones Memorial Farm dedicated to growing peas. Farm Manager Pete has been up to a lot at the farm and this past week he weed whacked between the rows of peas, clearing out the overgrowth that was used as a stealth measure against the rabbits and deer. He also covered the plant rows with straw to limit evaporation from the topsoil. The rows are now currently flourishing due to exposure from the sunlight! Oh happy day. 🌞
We are hiring a Farmer Liaison! This person will operate our City Fresh truck & ensure produce shares are making it to their Fresh Stop locations. Apply today at city fresh.org & join our efforts to change the world one vegetable at a time! 🍅
We’ve got lots of things growing over at the George Jones Memorial Farm. 🌱 Most recently are these gorgeous Hakurei Turnips, a Japanese salad turnip. They are fast to maturity, just 35 days, and both the bulbs AND leaves are delicious to eat. 😋 They are currently being harvested early because flea beetles love them a little too much and are munching away. 🪲
Have you ordered your City Fresh shares? The start of the season is right around the corner! 🍓 Order 5+ shares now through May 31st & receive $5 off your order. Use code SOFRESH at checkout. ✨ *does not apply to limited income shares* #cityfresh #csa #vegetables #fruits #localbusiness #localagriculture #community
With the warm weather and high temperatures our hoop houses have been a little extra toasty as of late. ☀️ Farm manager Pete uses shade cloth to reduce sunlight and heat in the houses. Shade cloth comes in different colors and densities and is super important because not many plants can thrive in the 120 degree temperatures the hoop houses can reach. 🥵
We at City Fresh believe in a robust local food system that supports food access for everyone in the community. Community Supported Agriculture is not just an investment in the farm, but in the family, big or small, in the individual, in the folks living on a fixed income, in the student, in the carnivore, omnivore, and vegetarian alike, in the meal planner, the late night eater, the weekly share or once a month type of folk. City Fresh is for each and every one of you. No matter the day or time, when the season is right, we are here to do everything we can to get fresh local veggies into your hands, your home, and your bellies. 🥦🥕🥬🍅 Who needs to eat more veggies? YOU do. Sign up for a City Fresh share today and help us transform the local food system one vegetable at a time. ***Order 5 or more shares now until May 31st and we’ll throw you $5 off your order. Use code SOFRESH at checkout (*does not apply to limited income shares*).***

City Fresh Volunteers, We Need You! City Fresh is looking for dedicated individuals to help distribute shares at our neighborhood Fresh Stops this season. As we continue to navigate through the challenges that COVID-19 has presented, we need volunteers more than ever. Many hands make light work and in this case, many hands make safer work! In order to minimize contact, we'll need staff and volunteers dedicated to singular tasks. Volunteer jobs include: - Set Up: Setting up the fresh stop for distribution - Check in: Using our database to verify shareholder orders - Distribution: Making sure shareholders get their share - Traffic Flow Coordination: Helping shareholders keep proper social distance and ensuring safety protocols are followed - Clean Up: Sanitizing and packing away any equipment Even though we still need to take care when close to one another, we can continue to promote and protect a sense of camaraderie and community. It is within our grasp to feel personally enriched by helping one another. As we slowly begin to depart from the long season of separation, we can retain a sense of connectedness and meaning. Join us this summer! The season begins June 15th!
It's a chilly Saturday, but the cauliflower growing at the George Jones Memorial Farm are loving it. Mashed, roasted or raw - these versatile little veggies make a great addition to any meal. Get yours at the first outdoor market of the season next Saturday, May 15th, at the @oberlinfarmersmarket, located in front of the Oberlin Public Library from 9am-12pm. We'll see you there 🍅🫑🥬
