Pick-up information

Orders can be picked up by customers at BLT’s Restaurant at 41799 Big Bear Blvd in Big Bear Lake, near Summit Boulevard, typically between 6 PM and 7 PM on Tuesdays on weeks that deliveries are scheduled. Produce arrives in the farmer’s crates, so bring a container or bags to transfer into if you don’t want to hassle with returning the crate. A supply of reusable bags and boxes is available.

Direct delivery to the address you specify for shipping is available for an additional $5, which is selected at checkout.

Do not hesitate to contact F2M about delivery needs or order issues: 909-547-4163 (call or text). Email might not be seen quickly, so please call or text regarding time-sensitive issues.

Crate return

Many of you probably have empty crates stacking up or stored from past orders, and if you find them they can be returned to BLT’s any time you pass by. If you are ordering regularly, the crates can be traded out at your next order. You are always welcome to transfer produce to a bag, box, or other container to avoid having the crate.

Visitors Who Will Return Home Soon…

If you have been a visitor in Big Bear during the covid19 stay-at-home order, please return your crate before you leave Big Bear. If you wish to be removed from the Farm2Mountain email updates, just let me know as well. You are always welcome to order if you return!

Big Bear Prime Meats

Big Bear Prime Meats offers a wide variety of naturally-grown (including organic) meats that come from sources near the Big Bear area. To order, contact Big Bear Prime Meats directly since they are an independent operation and have a different order and delivery schedule.

Safety measures are in place

Especially during this time of coronavirus concern, extra measures are being taken to protect the Farm2Mountain produce from unnecessary human exposure, which will probably become the new standard procedure (speaking as a committed germaphobe, this is good news!). Produce is sourced from local farms and packed into the crates at an open-air agricultural facility with just a few workers in Chino, then loaded into my vehicle from a forklift. It is covered with a clean plastic-lined blanket that is only used for this purpose and brought straight to Big Bear where individual orders are sorted (CSA boxes aren’t changed unless additionally ordered items are added). Anyone interacting directly with your food once it’s in Farm2Mountain’s possession is wearing gloves and a face covering. (The crates might be handled without gloves, which is ultimately safer since disinfecting hands with sanitizer or soap between items is better than re-using dirty gloves or wasting a new pair with each customer.) The sorting space at BLT’s is away from activity, and customers picking up orders are on the other side of the room. Orders that are delivered directly to customers are covered in the delivery vehicles and drivers wear protective gear. Big Bear has done a good job staying isolated and virtually virus-free, and we are working to keep it that way!

How to clean produce

To clean your produce, a few drops of natural dish soap in a sink of water will be enough to wash off anything lurking on your food. Thick-skinned produce can soak a few minutes, leafy greens just need a dip and swish, and thin-skinned produce can be dipped and wiped or soaked quickly. Rinse everything well. Vinegar can turn leafy greens black if it’s used as a veggie wash in too high a concentration, and it might not kill viruses. Soap-based cleaning products will strip the virus of its outer coating and kill it.
