Robbed from the internet. We all know cats are cutter than facts. This is a memorable explanation of flattening the curve.
How did we get here? Our thoughts on Flattening the curve.
Strange times we live in. There are so many facts and speculations blended together, it is hard to tell where the ground is. The current situation has presented some unique challenges specific to farming. How do we balance the vital need for low contact with the necessity to provide vegetables to our community? We have been working hard and think we have come up with a basic solution.
Why Low Contact is IMPORTANT:
As I am sure you have read, the coronavirus has the potential to overwhelm our medical system if too many people get sick at the same time. At our current rate of infection, we are headed that way. This could mean that people who need medical attention will not be able to receive the care they need. Our best approach to combat this is to reduce contact and "flatten the curve" through social distancing and reduced exposure. You can find an explanation of this here
Because of this, despite the financial punch in the gut, we have decided to forgo our markets that remain open until April 5th. We will then reconsider. In the meantime, we have opened up online ordering to non-CSA members and CSA members alike and are prepared to carry out low-contact pick-ups at sites within 15 minutes of our markets. We are hoping that between the online ordering of non-CSA members and the continued support of our members, we will be able to pull this off without taking a debilitating hit. Besides, it is for the greater good.
