You will receive an email when your box has arrived at your drop point each week! The location of the drop points depends on where the greatest concentration of members live or work.
* Sweet discounts apply for those who host Drop Points! The more members at the drop point, the bigger the discount for the host!! Call (717-805-7778) or email (earthspringcsa@gmail.com) us for more information or if you are interested! *
If you are interested in establishing a new PRIVATE DROP POINT (i.e., employees ONLY) at your business, please contact us! You must have a minimum of 10 people who want to sign up to make this happen.
Do you have questions, such as how the CSA works, when your delivery will be, how often you will get produce, when the deliveries will begin, how long you have to pick up your produce, what to expect in your box each week, etc?

Don’t see a drop point near you? Give us a call and we can work together to get our fresh produce to you and your friends and neighbors.
Interested in hosting a drop point or know of a public location that might work? Depending on your location, we need a certain number of paid members near a potential drop point to make it happen. Please email me and we can talk about it. Nice discounts apply for hosts!
How Delivery Works...
We do our very best to ensure that your produce arrives to you fresh and in a timely fashion. Having said that - we ask that you be flexible and understand that there is a window that we are aiming towards to get the delivery to the drop points, homes and places of work. For some it is late morning, others - early afternoon and then late afternoon or evening. On delivery day, we will send an email to you when your box has arrived at your drop point.
Generally speaking, the drop points are at private residences who are also members. They have no additional information as to when the produce is being delivered and we ask that you respect their privacy. Please direct any questions or concerns to us either by phone, text or email.
Be sure to take only what you have ordered. This is all on the honor system.
Drop Point Procedure...
If you do not remember what size box you get, whether or not you get a fruit share, or whether or not you ordered cheese or meat a certain week, please consult the list at the drop point! A new list will be printed each week.
1) Pick up your Small or Large CSA Box (they are labeled), whichever you have signed up for.
2) If you have signed up for a Fruit Share, please take the amount of fruit designated at the drop point. The fruit will be separate from the CSA box.
3) If you have signed up for an Egg Share, please consult the list to verify whether or not you should be getting a dozen that week (i.e., some people will be getting them weekly, some bi-weekly, some monthly). Eggs will be in the cooler with the cheese & meat.
4) If you ordered cheese or meat, please take what you ordered from the cooler- it will have a label with your name.
5) Please check your name off the list at the drop point before you leave. This way, if for some reason, there is one leftover we can figure out whose box it is.
6) Please remember that in order to respect the privacy of our hosts, boxes must be picked up by 8pm each week, unless other arrangements are made with the host. If your box is not picked up by 8pm on delivery day, it becomes the property of the host.
7) If you are unable to pick up your box at any point during the season (e.g., will be away on vacation), please arrange for a friend or family member to go pick up your box. Otherwise it will go to the host.
8) Please FOLD your box and bring it back to the host’s location when you pick up your new box next week... or just take the bag of produce out of the box when you pick it up and leave the box there! Then you don't vene have to remember to bring it back the following week!
9) ENJOY!!!!!!!!
