The mad dash to the finish!

I have spoken with several of you by phone or have had rapid emails back and forth the last couple of days. We are just about done with all the behind the scenes preparations, and are working out the final kinks of our "logistics".

Here are the details that we have solidly formed:

Crookston and Grand Forks will get their regularly scheduled boxes on Tuesdays every week, beginning with June 8th. There will be the Sneak preview on May 28th, but there is just not enough ready right now to do 2 weeks in a row.

In Crookston, we have one work place delivery set up, as we found a good number of our members happen to work at the same place. What a treat!!

We don't have a regular time set yet, as the farm stuff has to be worked out. Right now, the hope is to have all the produce picked, washed, and packed by 10am to be transported to its destination. With this sneak peak preview, we will see how realistic that is going to be for the long haul.

Grand Forks' drop point will be Amazing Grains. We do not have a set starting time yet (see above), but they have told me that we MUST have all produce gone by closing time. If you cannot pick up your box, you will have to forfeit it unless you find someone to pick it up for you. I do not plan to stay that long, so I would like input from our Grand Forks area members about the time frame that works for you.


Thief River Falls will be dropped on Thursdays. The location has been shared with those who have already paid. It is a member's home, so for their privacy, it will not be publicly announced. The plan for there is early mornings, the exact time for future deliveries is still in the planning, as the others are. Regularly scheduled deliveries will begin on June 10th.

The Fertile area members are mostly picking up at the farm. We will discuss the best days on an individual basis. The times are also yet to be determined.

If I have left anything off, don't hesitate to send me a reminder by email!
