The Trustees has announced it is offering online ordering and no-contact pick-ups at four Greater Boston area farms - among them Dover's Powisset Farm - that operate farm stores and popular Trustees Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs. As one of the largest nonprofit owners of conserved farmland and operator of six working farms in Massachusetts, The Trustees is committed to increasing safe and convenient access for area families to locally sourced farm products, humanely raised meat, and fresh, healthy produce while also supporting our local communities and food economy.
Understanding the need for heightened food safety protocols, The Trustees is in touch with the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture Resources and complying with all CDC and FDA guidelines for food handling to distribute locally grown and raised produce, meat, eggs and food products safely and efficiently.
“We tested the program at two of our farms over the past few weeks, and it was a huge success,” adds Trustees’ Agriculture Program Associate Director Liz Green. “We are encouraged by the enthusiasm and popular demand for local, farm fresh food options from our communities and look forward to offering this online ordering and no-contact pick up service to even more people.”
Online ordering and no-contact pickup is now available at four Greater Boston Trustees farms, including Powisset Farm in Dover. Customers simply place their orders online and follow instructions for pick up schedules and locations. Online ordering is open to all, while supplies last, with Trustees Members receiving their standard 10 percent discount benefit when placing orders online. To help support communities and other local farm partners, The Trustees is providing additional produce and products from other area farms such as mushrooms, milk, cream, goat cheese maple syrup, cornmeal and wheat flour, and coffee.
