Pick-Up FAQs:

Can someone else pick-up my box for me?: Absolutely. As part of the sign-up process, primary members are able to designate additional people authorized to act as their "agent." Whether they be neighbors, friends, family members or coworkers, these individuals will be "on-the-list" and able to pick up your share in the event you are unable.

What if I'm on vacation or going to be out of town on my designated pick-up day?

FarmShare members can easily reschedule to an alternative day and/or place their shares "on-hold." This is accomplished from within the account management system on our website.

Please Note: we need TWO days advance notice of any alternative arrangements and will not be in the business of last minute requests. So, if you normally pick up on Tuesday, you would need to notify us no later than the Sunday prior. If you know you are leaving for vacation and cannot find someone that wants a free box of fresh, delicious produce (highly unlikely) we will gladly hold your FarmShare account until you return. Just send us an email at CSA@applecrest.com.

Does Applecrest offer pick-ups at any locations other than the home farm? Like maybe at a local Seacoast farmer's market?: The short answer is, No. That said, in an effort to accommodate those members living far and wide, we are exploring the possibility of offering alternative pick-up locations for the coming and future seasons. To keep abreast of these and other developments, be sure to join our newsletter list.

What if I forget to pick up my box?

FarmShare boxes will be ready for pick-up at the farm on the designated date and time as established by each member upon sign-up. The box is guaranteed during these pick-up hours. If no prior arrangements have been made and you (or your agent) do not pick up during designated hours, your box will be considered a donation to the local food bank.

Please note: Late pick-ups and/or forgotten shares will not be eligible for replacement or credit. There are no exceptions to this policy.

How about a pick-up day carpool list?: At the start of the season, a carpool sign-up sheet will be made available at the pick-up site. If you are interested in connecting with other members for carpooling, please add your contact information. We will distribute the sign-up sheet to interested members, and then the rest is up to you.
