Can I Pick Up My Box After Hours in Exceptional Circumstances?

Email us to arrange alternative pickup times if needed. As freelance musicians, we keep weird hours, and are very understanding if you do too! However, arrangements must be made before the end of the day on delivery day or we will donate your box.

Be A Good Neighbor

  • Be sure to find the vegetable share labeled with your name. If you are signed up for a fruit share, your fruit share is also labeled by name.
  • If someone else will be picking up your share(s) for you, please remind them to take only the share(s) labeled with your name.
  • Be sure to flatten your empty vegetable box and stack it in the designated location for recycling.
  • Please recycle fruit boxes on your own; do not return them to your pickup site.
  • Your site host is providing a very generous contribution to your community and to the farm by making this site available. Please make an extra effort to help keep this site clean and tidy.

Thank you!

Site Host Profile

Sara and Richard have been CSA members since they first moved to Elgin in 2011! Besides their love for local, organic veggies, they also are both professional cellists. Sara performs with the Elgin Symphony Orchestra and is Executive and Artistic Director for Chamber Music on the Fox, and Richard plays with the Rockford Symphony Orchestra and teaches private cello lessons. Their daughter, Talia, is 4.5 and is being brought up to love Angelic Organics as much as her parents — “More beets, please!” is a frequently heard phrase out of her lips. And baby Lena was just born last March and will surely try an Angelic Organic carrot as her first solid food later this summer! Also, we would be remiss to mention that, once you’ve picked up your box at our house a few times, you’ll surely get to know our beloved dog Josie, who will likely bark at you every time you drive up. She means well….
We look forward to hosting this year and to getting to know our CSA community in Elgin!
