A small farm with a BIG mission!

CORONA VIRUS READINESS
With the recent news around COVID-19 and community health concerns, we wanted to let you know how Crooked Fence Farm is addressing concerns around illness. Beginning on the farm, we have a comprehensive food safety and employee health plan. Food safety begins in the field, with sanitized harvesting crates and tools. Our washing and packing area meets rigorous food safety requirements, and we wash all of our produce with a certified organic sanitizing wash that kills 99.9% of all germs.
All farm staff follow a careful hand washing and equipment sanitizing program, and we offer paid sick leave so anyone with a sniffle can stay home rather than bring it to the farm.
At our pickup locations, all CSA totes are sanitized when you return them. We also encourage you to only handle your personal bag when picking up, and we will provide hand sanitizer at each pickup location.
Finally, we wanted to announce a new COVID-19 readiness option for members this year. If you are concerned about picking up your share in a public place, we can now offer home delivery for a small extra fee to Hereford, Hunt Valley, Pikesville, Towson, Roland Park, Fells Point, & Mt. Vernon. You can choose this option when signing up.
Stay safe and healthy, and please reach out with any questions.
