CSA Week #4 Raspberry U-Pick-palooza continues, and more new flowers are popping up every day! U-Pick will be available:
This Saturday, 7/11/20, from 10AM-3PM during our special Open Day (NOTE: CSA pickup is NOT available on Saturday at the farm - weekend pickup will be at the Farmers Markets, like usual!)
Wednesday, July 15th, from 3PM-7PM!
Available U-Pick crops:
Raspberries & Flowers
A few important notes:
We will provide pint containers for U-Pick raspberries. Get 'em at the Farm Stand or U-Pick tent!
You must wear a mask while U-Picking in the fields, even if you are more than 6 feet away from others. Please see an important update about masks below.
Adhere to any signage or staff instructions on where to harvest.
Hand washing stations will be available near the fields.
Availability is subject to growing conditions like weather, pests, and other variables. We do our best to fulfill each weekly veggie forecast, but occasional fluctuations to the plan may occur throughout the season. Take a look at our 2020 Seasonality Chart to get a sense for what the anticipated growing season looks like!
COVID-19 Health & Safety Reminders UPDATED 7/3
An important update about masks On July 7th, Governor Inslee issued a statewide order that businesses must require and enforce the use of face coverings - not just for staff, but also for all visitors and customers. As a place of business and a place where food is produced, masks or face coverings are required when picking up your CSA at the farm or Farmers Market, and when U-Picking at Oxbow.
Forgot your mask? No worries! We'll have disposable masks and/or face shields handy at the Farm Stand for any guests who might have forgotten them. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to keep our staff, our visitors, and our food safe!
You may bring your own reusable tote bag, but Oxbow staff will need to bag your produce into a single-use bag before handing it to you to place in your tote.
If you're picking up at a Farmers Market, you'll be required to follow the safety protocol set forth by each Market: Mercer Island Protocol | Issaquah Protocol
Maintain safe distances of 6 feet or more from other Shareholders, and be kind and patient as we assist others.
Please keep your pets at home. We adore dogs, but they aren't permitted anywhere at Oxbow, including in the parking area.
For all pickup locations: Your farmers will be handling all the food while wearing masks and gloves. Please do not handle any produce, other than your U-Pick items, yourself.
Don't forget to follow us on Instagram! If you've made a tasty meal with your Oxbow produce, have a recipe to share, or just want to post a glamour shot from your U-Pick adventures, give us a tag @oxbowcenter and lettuce know what you've been up to!
As always, please reach out to farmers@oxbow.org or 425-788-1134 with any questions.
