The farm store is now open for online pre-orders of tulips, daffodils, microgreens, pea shoots and parsley plants! We may be changing our online order set-up for next week but for orders for pick-up this Thursday, Friday and Saturday please follow these ordering instructions:
We are currently using a platform called Open Food Network. The link for orders is here: https://openfoodnetwork.net/barrett-s-mill-farm/shop#/shop
You do not need to create an account to place an order (in fact, we may be switching platforms later on to better integrate with our POS system in the store).
Be sure to choose your pick-up time (there is a red drop-down menu in the upper right-hand of the screen). If you don’t choose a time, you won’t be able to see the items in the shop.
You can find out details about each item by clicking on the product name or photo.
After you’ve added the items you’d like, click on the cart and select “Checkout now”
Payments can be made by credit card. Barrett’s Bucks members may select the “Bucks” payment option. (it says “free” in parentheses behind both payment options - this just means that it is free to use that payment option, not that the product is free!). In order to keep our record keeping to a minimum this week we are asking that CSA members do not use their Barrett’s Bucks this week.
For this week, orders may be placed starting at 2pm for the following day, and ordering will close at 5am on the day of pick-up. Pick-up times are available 2pm- 6pm on Thursday and Friday, and 11am - 3pm on Saturday.
Pick-up will be on the porch of the farm stand. Your items will be clearly labeled. Please wear a mask and if there is someone else picking up at the farm stand please wait at the cone until they leave before approaching. Please use maximum caution when on the farm and keep over 6 feet of distance between yourself and others.
Please leave the jar or bucket holding your flowers and just take your items. Crates should also be left in place. If your order is in a brown bag please take the whole bag.
To minimize the number of people on the farm pick-ups should be done by just one person per order.
We have been working really hard to get this contactless system going, but we have also been quite occupied with planting season at the same time, so we know that there are going to be a lot of things to iron out as we go. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding while we try to get this going!
What is available:
Tulips - more varieties coming for Friday and Saturday pick-ups - just in time for Mother’s Day!
Daffodils
Parsley plants
Microgreens
Pea shoots
Salanova will be available for Friday pick up
While the asparagus is poking up out of the ground, nights are still too cold for a harvest. We will add them to the store as soon as they are available!
Our new store set up is an effort to offer contactless pick up in response to COVID-19. Other measures we are taking include employees wearing masks at all times, frequent handwashing aided by new handwashing stations in addition to our barn sinks, and daily sanitizing of all frequently touched surfaces. Pick-ups are outdoors (despite the wind!) for good air flow. Our usual food safety concerns still apply in this time of added challenges. We are continuing our practices of washing and sanitizing all food contact surfaces such as wash area tables, scales and bins. As always, please wash your produce before eating. Thank you so much for all of your support, we are looking forward to providing you all with veggies in the months ahead!
