Got Questions About the Garden GrowLER PROGRAM?
2022 WE ARE TAKING A BREAK FROM THE TRADITIONAL WEEKLY BOX COMMITTMENT. Sign up for e-news from the home page or follow on social media (Instagram, and Facebook) to get updates on what is available!
BUT for future reference- this is how it worked in 2021.
How does it work?
This is modeled after various Community Supported Agriculture projects. (CSA).
You sign up in advance- the signup link is live from Jan 31 - Feb 19, 2021 (click HERE to go to the form). After signup you will get an invoice and pay a signup fee (which covers your first week of food and the growler containers). The summer growler will be a 16-week commitment. (With deliveries to begin on or around June 21st - October 4th weather pending). There are limited spots for the season to come, so sign up early.
When the June pickup day comes, you will receive your “growler” depending on what products and amounts you had signed up for earlier. You already paid for week one back in March, but you do need to pre-pay for next weeks growler. The final delivery of the 16 week commitment is right before Thanksgiving. At that time there may be a few “storage items” on offer to purchase which will contain good storage vegetables like potatoes, carrots, various squash varieties, leeks, onions, pumpkins etc.
Where are the pickup spots and dates for 2021?
MONDAYS- SAINT JOHN, New Brunswick- Hazen White School 5:00pm-5:30pm
MONDAYS- At the Farm (130 Model Farm Road, Quispamsis)- 6:30pm-7:30pm
THURSDAYS- At the Farm (130 Model Farm Road, Quispamsis)- 9:30am-10:30am
HAMPTON, NB- Dear Hamptonians. Apologies but due to increase in demand from the other regions, I have to take Hampton off of our service list at this time. Hampton Hill Family Farm does a GREAT job and can service you- contact hamptonhillfamilyfarm@gmail.com
What is the cost?
The signup fee includes the reusable containers and first week’s produce.
Basic Garden Growler ($25/week + $50 signup)
Garden Lover Growler ($35/week + $70 signup)
ADD ON EGGS!
Egg Growler ($5.50/15 eggs/wk+$25 signup)
Egg Lover Growler (30/wk $11.00 + $42 signup)
**There is a discount (5% discount on garden growlers) for prepaying the entire season. SORRY- no can do on the eggs, the hens told me no discounts allowed on their production. :)
What if you are away for a week?
You just let me know who will be picking up your growler in advance. They can prepay for the following week and you’ll be all caught up when you return. I also have a waiting list of people who can take over your growler if you don’t have anyone who is interested. The most important part is to let me know at least a week ahead. IF you no-show on pickup day, then I reserve the right to donate the growler contents to a family in need and you will still be responsible to set up a prepayment for the following week. IF you no-show twice during the 16 week cycle then you will not be eligible to participate in future CSA’s unless pre-paid 100%.
What is a Growler?
An idea stolen shamelessly from the craft beer world. Part of the signup fee includes a deposit on these AWESOME containers. . . It saves having egg cartons pile up, they keep eggs from getting crushed in transport, AND they are great for camping trips. Veggie bags/boxes included in the signup fee to ensure the quality remains good in transport. ALL of the containers are yours to keep.
**OPTING OUT OF THE EGG PACKAGING: If you were on the program last year and do not need the egg cartons let me know and I’ll work in a discount of $13.50 which takes the cost off of the container off.
What are the benefits?
You have a fresh supply of groceries each week to feed yourselves and your families. Perhaps you have never thought of sautéing leeks instead of onions, or tried Kohlrabi. But there they are in the growler pack. (Never fear though, I’ll give you some ideas of how to prepare it also!). I’ll give you an update on what will be included in the growler a few days prior to delivery so that you can do some meal/other grocery planning.
NEW FOR 2021
There will be no Berry & Fruit Weekly Add-On Option BUT when I go seasonally to pick up for Jam Creations- I will let you know and you will be able to pre-order at that time.
The Garden LOVER Growler has Extra Garden Goodies included weekly
Hampton will not be an option for drop off in 2021- check out Hampton Hill Family Farm as an alternative
Thursday morning pickup has been added as an option
