Reservations Closed for September 13th

Thank you for your interest in reserving a box for pick-up at one of our event locations. We had to close our reservation option for this week so we can get a list ready for each of our event locations.

Just because we are not accepting reservations does not mean you cannot get a box on Saturday!

We will have boxes available for a cash donation on Saturday. Just come out to an event location and make your $15 cash donation there. All of our events are open from 6:00am to 8:00am, ending sooner only if we run out of produce.
