Orders received on Thursdays by 8 p.m. can be picked up on Saturdays between 9 a.m. and noon.
Fairgate Farm stated that orders will be processed on a first-come-first-serve basis and it will not be accepting cash this year. According to its website, Fairgate Farm produces more than 5,000 pounds of produce annually, with over 150 varieties of organic fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers.
