Member Privileges

You-pick
All CSA members are welcome to the farm at any time to visit, to help, or to harvest as much as they want from the items on our you-pick list. The you-pick list tends to include items that are difficult to include in shares, such as flowers and herbs, and any vegetables we have in abundance that week, such as tomatoes or collard greens.

Missed shares
Any member who cannot make it to their regular pick-up site and day may double the share before or after the missed one, or they may come to one of our other pick-ups within 7 days before or after the missed one. For example, if a member forgets to pick up their share at Dupont on a Tuesday, they may pick up a double share the following Tuesday.  Or if a member who ordinarily picks up on Tuesdays at the farm knows they will be out of town, they can pick up their share on the Saturday before the one they will miss.  Any vegetables that are not picked up at the end of the evening will be donated the following day to a local soup kitchen, so even if members do not "make up" the share they missed, it is certainly not wasted. 

Farm Updates
Members have the option of signing up for a weekly email which they will receive from the farm most Tuesdays by 3pm. The email will list what is in the share that evening and the following Saturday. We also post news from the farm, photos, and recipes on our weblog, Clagett Farm Notes. Weblog posts can also be delivered by email to anyone who subscribes. 

Festivals
Join us for our spring and fall festivals, which are free. It's a great opportunity to meet the staff, fellow members, and get a hay ride to visit the cows.
