What’s in the box?

This is the first-ever Fall Gleaning pickup for the Snead’s Farm CSA. We are excited to share with you the late-fall bounty of the farm.

All members pick up this box at Snead’s Farm, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31. On this day, members can also enjoy free admission to the farm (normally $10 per person) and unlimited free hayrides, mountain slides and access to all farm play areas. Please feel free to bring a picnic lunch—just make sure to clean up your trash.

Please bring any CSA boxes you still have back to the farm tomorrow. Reusing these boxes helps us avoid raising prices for the CSA.
