FAQs

What if I am going on vacation? Provide us with two weeks’ notice and we can pause your delivery – two requests are allowed per season. You may opt for a replacement share on a future week or receive store credit to your online account to be used toward future CSA purchases. Store credit will expire six months from the date issued.

What if I want a friend or family member to pick up my shares? Mistakes can occur when members send someone else to pick up their shares: please help us avoid pickup errors by sharing this guide with anyone you send on your behalf.

What if my share is missing? Please contact your site host and LFFC (csa@lancasterfarmfresh.com or 717.656.3533 ext. 2). You can find your site host’s contact information in the Welcome Email we sent you the week before the start of the season. We will do our best to help you locate your shares. Please do not take a different share size if yours is missing.
