At Steed Farm we care about the health of our members. That is primarily why we grow using organic methods. We care about our community and the general welfare of our community.
During this Coronavirus pandemic we are taking greater measures to safeguard our member's health.
We always wash our produce and then disinfect it with a peroxide wash. All our hard surfaces (tables and trays) holding our produce get a bleach wash and rinse every Saturday pick up.
One thing we will do is start bagging our member's produce at the farm instead of allowing everyone to pick their own produce. This will minimize potential for cross-contamination from accidental handling. We will also be doing curb-side service in order to minimize folks congregating at the produce tables.
We will also implement not using recycled produce boxes immediately. We will wash them in bleach disinfectant and then store them away for a few weeks to give any germs time to breakdown and then dip in bleach wash again before use in the future.
Our employees will be washing hands more frequently and if they are showing any symptoms refrain from showing up to work.
As our logistic supply is being stretched at the supermarkets, I am grateful and honored that we can serve our community in one of the few things that is an absolute necessity; the production of food to sustain us.
We will get through this time with everyone doing the small things that will help us overcome.
