Why Aren't My Eggs Peeling After Being Hard Boiled?
They aren't peeling because they are not old. Eggs from the store spend three weeks being processed. Our eggs are usually gathered from the chickens within a day of you receiving them. They need time to get old. You can either stick them in the fridge for a while or age them quickly by refrigerating them and then taking them out of fridge overnight before hard boiling.

Can You Tell Me In Advance What I Am Receiving This Week?
We use Facebook to do this. Simply add New Life CSA on Facebook to see weekly posts. If you are not a Facebook user, I send out the same info in weekly emails. Let me know if you need this option.

Why is the stuff in my bag not the same as in my friends' bags?
There's a number of reasons why you may not receive the same things as other members of the CSA.
There's a number of reasons why you may not receive the same things as other members of the CSA.
- A few members ask not to receive a certain vegetable.
- We offer a lot of different plans to better customize your garden.
- When the garden just starts to produce a certain type of vegetable, it will not provide enough to supply the entire CSA at first. We can either give the little bit that it made to people who have made the bigger investment, or we can let the first picking be wasted. People who have opted to get a full share have made a bigger investment in our garden, so we often give the first picking to them.
- Some types of produce need to be picked every other day. We will pick it Monday, Wednesday, and Friday one week and Tuesday and Thursday the following week.
I'm Going To Be Away Over Our Pick Up Day. What Should I Do About My Vegetables?
- Enjoy your trip!
- Call a friend and ask them to pick up your produce and enjoy your vegetables. Let us know so we can help them if necessary.
- If you are only away a few days and not the whole week, we will gladly pick your vegetables and have them ready on another day of the week.
- If neither you or a friend can use your weekly share of produce, let us know. We will either divide them among the other families that pick up the same day as you or donate them to a nearby shelter.
