Have you picked up food from any of our Free Farm Stands this season? If you have, we would appreciate your help with a brief survey. Online and paper surveys are identical, so only do one or the other this season. Prefer the paper version? Reach out to [email protected] and we can help you with that! We did one of these a few years back, but as long as you haven't done one for 2026 we'd still really like your input.
