Why is Vestal No Longer a Pickup Location for Winter Farm Share?
We have some exciting things planned for early 2021 with a new pickup and delivery service. With offering this service it made us have to eliminate the vestal pickup site for winter 2021 due to lack staff and vehicles. We are now offering Brackney as a pickup location, a short 15 min drive from Vestal. We are also offering 15% off any additional purchases day of pickup in Brackney so you can do some one stop shopping. This also allows our members to utilize their swap option if there are any products they would like to swap out where in Vestal this was not possible during the winter. Our Brackney location offers lots of different products other than just fresh produce including farm raised pork and beef, a dairy section, gift items,a large selection of jams and jellies/ baked goods and more.
