Tag: Winter Sun Farms

You can now order many individual items from our partners at Winter Sun Farms and Acorn Hill Farms! À la carte items are priced and ordered separately from the regular Winter Shares, so just add a few more to your veggie delivery and maybe skip the grocery altogether! Winter Sun has frozen veggies, eggs, meats and other items (see list below). Acorn Hill specializes in cheese, fudge and soap made from goats milk.

Pick-up will be during our regular Winter Vegetable Share time: 5-8pm on December 19, January 9, January 30,February 20, March 13.

How to Order À La Carte Items from Winter Sun:
~ Veggies, Meats, Eggs ~

1. Visit the ordering website Farmingo
2. Scroll down and select Sunnyside as your location
3. Hit NEXT
4. Add the GUEST WEBSTORE ACCESS option (it’s the only thing you can add) and hit NEXT
5. If you want to be part of their Egg Share, this is the point where you can join. It’s $5.75 for a dozen eggs (free range, antibotic & hormone-free), and you’re getting 1 carton at each of our 5 delivery dates. Please note: You can always order eggs from Lewis Waite Farm, too (they offer 100% organic eggs that are a little more expensive and free-range eggs (just like these) that are a bit lower in price.) We’re not endorsing either one, just offering you more options- pick whatever works best for you!
6. Choose what payment plan you want (in full, or in two payments) and hit NEXT
7. Create or login to your account.  Please note: Winter Sun Farms uses a site called Farmigo to run their store. Farmigo happens to be what Village Fishmonger uses for the fish share, too. If you already have a Farmigo account (either through the fish share or some other place) you don’t need to create a new account, just log in- however, you can’t access your Village Fishmonger account through your Winter Suns account or vice versa. So you have one master Farmigo account, but you log into different food vendors separately. Makes sense?
8. Once you’ve created your account and paid up (there’s no fee if you’re just adding access to their webstore; you only have to pay if you’re electing the Egg Share) you should find yourself on their main page. If you want to actually go to their webstore and order items, you have to click on the tiny green Web Store link on the upper right-hand corner next to your name. See it? Click it!
9. You can now add any products they offer, which will vary from pickup to pickup. (Scroll to the bottom of the email for a full list.) The order deadline is always 3 days before delivery- so order by the 16th for our December 19th date!

How to Order À La Carte Items from Winter Sun:
~ Goat Cheese, Goat Fudge & Goat Soap ~

Yes, that’s right, goat soap! It’s all from Acorn Hill Farms. They deliver through WinterSun Farms, but they have their own ordering process:

1. Go to the Acorn Hill Farms ordering page
2. Read and follow the specific ordering instructions 
3. Click to their product page and read all about their goat milk products: cheese, fudge, and soap! They also offer different cuts of Chevon! 
4. Order all you want, proceed to their pay pal checkout (you don’t need a pay pal account) and remember to note what CSA location and Date you are ordering for (as indicated in their ordering instructions.) ORDER DEADLINES are five days before the delivery date. If you miss the deadline, you won’t get the order processed in time!
