Start Date and Directions

We are excited to announce that our CSA is going to begin next week.  That means for members picking up on Wednesday afternoons at Foster's Market of Chapel Hill and for members picking up their shares and flowers at Falconbridge, the date is going to be May the 6th.  For Saturday Durham Farmers' Market pick-up members, the date will be May 9th.  

FOSTER'S MARKET MEMBERS:  Pick-up time is going to be from 2:15-2:30 until 7:30 pm.  Foster's begins clean-up around 7:30pm so it would be courteous for everyone to get their shares by then.  We're assuming everyone knows where this is.  The veggie boxes and flower shares are going to be inside the beverage walk-in cooler in the back in the store.  for the first week we'll post a sign where you enter the beverage cooler--please be mindful of not letting out the cold air of the beverage cooler by leaving it wide open.  

FALCONBRIDGE MEMBERS:  Pick up will be from 2:30 until 6:15 if that works for the Anthony's (let us know if these hours are a problem for you).  Boxes are going to be stacked on shelves on the lefthand side of the Anthony's garage, and you will see the flowers in buckets.  Their address is 4 Wellesley Place, Chapel Hill, 27517.  They are right near the 54 and I-40 intersection, and we're assuming everyone picking up here lives in this neighborhood?  Here

are directions from Lisa Anthony---the address also comes up on google map.  

Directions from Durham

1.  From I-85 South:  Take 15-501 South to Chapel Hill.

Go past Duke exit (Hwy 751), past South Square exit, past Martin Luther King exit, past next light big intersection (Garrett Rd. and gas station on left), up hill and a couple more lights, then you will come to signs for I-40. 

2.  First I-40 light is to the right to the West.  

     Second I-40 light will be yours—exit to the LEFT—I-40 EAST (says to the airport).

3.  Go to the next  exit (you’ll pass a sign that says you’re entering Durham).  

     Take Exit 273A—Hwy 54 (toward Chapel Hill, NOT Durham).

4.  At exit, go right—then get in the middle of the 3 lanes.  You’ll go through 2 lights immediately. (You’ll be in the left lane now.)  

5.  Then go past first street on left where BP gas station is.

6.  Take second left: Huntingridge Rd. (there is a light there):  big stone pillars (entrance to Falconbridge).

7.  Take next right on Brookhollow.

8.  Take immediate left on Wellesley Place.  Our house is #4 (on right).

DURHAM FARMERS' MARKET MEMBERS:  We'll be there all morning and you can pick up boxes and flowers from 8-12.  For anyone who doesn't know where the market is as of yet, just go to the DFM website and it has directions on it.  

FOR ALL FLOWER SHARE MEMBERS:  We will have flowers arranged in bunches that will be in buckets with other bunches.  Please only take one bunch.  We recommend that you either bring a small container of water or a wet paper towel in a plastic bag for your flowers.  When you get them home trim the stems on the diagonal (unless they are icelandic poppies--more on those later) and put them in a CLEAN vase.  Clean enough that you would feel comfortable drinking the water out of it.

We'll blog again Sunday or Monday to let everyone know what it in the box for the week and also the flowers we'll have for everyone.  We are so glad you all are with us for this season.  Our farm has never looked so good---it's going to be a great season barring natural disaster.  Thanks for joining and we hope you enjoy this food and flower escapade over the course of the next twenty weeks.  You are welcome to leave any comments or suggestions at any time on the blog or through email.
