We get it—bringing home a box bursting with fresh, unfamiliar produce can be a bit overwhelming. No worries! Consider us your culinary compass, steering you with fresh recipes and tips.

‍

Storage Tips:

‍

We harvest our produce at its prime, ensuring peak freshness and longevity compared to grocery store counterparts. Follow these tried and true tips to make that farm-fresh flavor last:

• Get your farm box to a cool location ASAP. Nothing ruins fresh produce faster than the hot sun! If you’re out running errands, we recommend making the farm your last stop to avoid spoilage. If you get delivery, please be sure you have a shady spot for us to leave your box.
• Take the tops off your carrots and beets right away when you get home to preserve freshness.
• Wash, dry, and store your greens in a bag (our favorites here!) with some wet paper towels and place in the fridge.

Remember to thoroughly wash all produce before consuming!

Level up from CSA Member to CSA Master with tools and gadgets handpicked to help you maximize the enjoyment of your farm box.

• Salad spinner: Quickly clean and dry CSA produce, saving time and ensuring freshness. Efficient, convenient, and enhances longevity.
• Good kitchen knives, along with a knife sharpener (or local business who sharpens knives!).
• Reusable glass containers and mason jars to keep your food as farm-fresh as possible.
• Sheet pans for roasting delicious veggies!
• Food processor: The one “big-ticket” item we recommend. Use it for making salsa, pesto, pizza dough, and pureeing items like soups and sauces.

REFUNDS & RETURNS

• A 10% fee applies to all refunds
• Riverdog will not give refunds on any missing items/quality issues for any pickups made the day after delivery day. CSA site hosts may donate any unclaimed items no sooner than 24 hours after the original pick up day and time of 3pm. After 24 hours (3pm following the day of original pickup time) unclaimed/forgotten orders may no longer be available and the subscriber absorbs the subscription cost for that week’s order.
• All missing items/quality issues must be emailed within 24 hours of pick day and time for refund consideration. Any quality issues should be accompanied with a photo
• We do not reclaim produce, eggs or meat. Once your box is delivered, the amount is charged for delivery regardless of pickup. We do not credit accounts for missed pickups. Please pick up your box on the delivery day within the specified pick up time. If you need to cancel your account, send an email to csa@riverdogfarm.com and you will get a confirmation of your cancellation. This will ensure the cancellation of your account and your credit card will be taken off automatic payments.

PICKUP

• Please initial by your name in the column provided on the sign out sheet at the pick-up site.
• The Riverdog CSA contents are the same; once you have signed the sign out sheet, simply pick a box. If you do not see you name on any of the sign out pages, we did not deliver a box for you. Do not take a box, as this would create a shortage. Please contact the farm to sort out any confusion.
• If you ordered eggs: Eggs can be found in a box separate from the CSA boxes. Only take eggs if your egg subscription is listed next to your name on the sign out sheet and your name is printed on the egg sheet. If you don't see "Eggs" next to your name on the sign out sheet, and you ordered eggs, please contact the farm as soon as possible to sort out any confusion.
• Your CSA account will have the most up-to-date information such as your next delivery from our farm and your account balance.
• Please pick up your CSA order on your delivery day so that it stays fresh and we can ensure quality.
• We reuse our grey, plastic totes, so please return them! They help reduce our waste on the farm and your waste in the city, so we appreciate your help to keep them in circulation. Please take the box home and bring it back the following week.
• Sometimes we use wax cardboard boxes when we run out of grey totes, we reuse these too, so please bring them back to your pick-up site! When leaving the empty cardboard boxes at the site, collapse the box flat by slipping out the notches on the bottom side. Delivery drivers and site hosts have a warm place in their hearts for subscribers who stack the collapsed boxes and help keep the pickup site neat and tidy.
