CSA PICK-UP #1: The Results

On the whole, it looks like the first pick-up went well. There was however, some obvious confusion which resulted in the wrong shares being taken. Full shares and half-shares are separated in the cooler, and clearly marked. In Addition, below each bag, is red duct tape with your share's name on it. You are supposed to take the bag from that space; the following week, you are supposed to bring back your empty bag and place it in your marked space after taking your new full bag.

It appears that several people just took any bag, which resulted in other members showing up to discover an empty space where their share should have been. It all worked out in the end, but it would be easier on all of us if this was amended next time.

Also, if you are splitting a full share with someone, this is not the same as having purchased two half-shares. You are responsible to split the full share yourself, and to communicate with your share partner as to how and when that will occur.
Thanks for your attention. We're looking forward to next week's harvest!
