IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM LANCASTER FARM FRESH CO-OP REGARDING THE CYCLOSPORA OUTBREAK
We’ve been following the reports closely and staying up to date as new information becomes available.
Historically, outbreaks like these have most often been linked to large-scale, industrial agriculture and distribution systems, which are very different from how our farms operate. Our farms are among the best sources for fresh produce. We know exactly where the produce comes from, we maintain strong food safety practices and take great care in every step of the process. In many ways, the scale of our farms is much closer to growing food in your own backyard than to industrial agriculture, which helps reduce many of the risks associated with large, complex supply chains.
However, It is still recommended to follow safe food handling for all your fresh items whether from the grocery store or your shares:
- Wash your hands before and after handling fresh produce
- Rinse fruits and vegetables well under cool running water before eating or preparing them.
- Use a clean produce brush to gently scrub firm vegetables and fruits like cucumbers, carrots, potatoes, and melons.
- Keep cutting boards, knives, and countertops clean while preparing fresh foods.
These are habits that are definitely worth practicing all year long and can help reduce the risk of many foodborne illnesses!

HOW THE LANCASTER FARM FRESH CSA PROGRAM WORKS
- The Lancaster Farm Fresh (LFFC) CSA Program is for our Local Community (those living within the Philadelphia tri-state area).
- LFFC CSA shares run for six (6) weeks
- The entire six-week session uses two (2) squares on your passport.
- The LFFC CSA session schedule can be found to the right (schedule includes session dates and order dates).
- Registration for an LFFC CSA session is made on the member portal.
- When ordering on the member portal, select the pick-up location in the drop-down box on the CSA order screen.
- To find a convenient pick-up location near you, click on the pink box to the right entitled “View CSA Pick-Up Locations.” If there is not a location near you, please contact UFH at csa@uniteforher.org
- The week prior to the session start date, your specific pick-up day, time, and full site address will be sent directly to you via email, by LFFC.
- Boxes will be available for pick-up, at your pre-selected location, each week of the 6-week session.
- This is not a flexible pick-up schedule. Your pick-up must occur during your assigned weekly day/time window at your designated location.
PROGRAM POLICIES

- Cancellations or site location changes require SEVEN (7) DAYS notice, prior to your pick-up day.
