The Porch Partner's Guide to Hosting a Theo's Harvest Pickup Site
📣 Welcome, Porch Partner!
We’re so glad you’re here.
Porch Partners play a huge role in helping our community stay connected to local food. Every pickup hosted, every conversation shared, and every neighbor invited helps strengthen our local food system in a real way.
This season, we’re working toward a big goal: reaching 50 members. We truly believe we can get there together.
To make sharing easy, we’ve created ready-to-use signs, social posts, graphics, and images you can use anytime. Whether you post online, put out signage, or simply tell a friend about us, it all helps us grow.
We’ve designed the Porch Host experience to be as simple and supportive as possible, and we’re grateful to have you as part of this community. There are a few helpful things to know, which we’ve outlined in the sections ahead. Please review them, and if you ever need anything, we’re here to help.
Thank you for helping local food reach more families this season.

⭐️ Porch Partner Rewards & Responsibilities
We believe in celebrating community builders. Here’s what you’ll receive as your site grows:
👩🌾 Free weekly harvest box when your site reaches 10+ members
📣 Flyers, social posts, and support to help grow your site
🎟️ VIP invites to on-farm tours and member-only events
Your Role in Supporting Local Food & Community
With great rewards comes great responsibility. Being a Porch Partner means you’re agreeing to the following when you host a pickup site:
🧹 Weekly Site Check
Make sure your pickup area is clean, safe, and accessible on pickup days. In bad weather, ensure boxes are covered or under shelter if possible.
📋 Box Check & Grace Period Support
At the end of each pickup day, check if any boxes are left behind. Send a quick message to Farmhand with a list of members who still need to pick up (they’ll send out a reminder on your behalf).
🚪 Help Members Feel Welcome
Occasionally, new members may ring your doorbell or knock because they’re confused about where to find their box. A friendly wave, pointing them to the right spot, or a quick explanation goes a long way.
💬 Communication & Feedback
Let us know if anything comes up—missed deliveries, concerns about quality, or if your availability ever changes. We’re here to support you!
🏘️ Your Flyer
Print and post it in high-traffic, local places.
Where to Post:
- Community bulletin boards (grocery stores, libraries, gyms–where allowed)
- Schools or daycares (with permission)
- Your front gate, fence, or porch rail
- Hand out to coworkers, friends, or local businesses you know

2Pickup-Day Porch Sign
Best for: setting out on your porch the morning of pickup so first-time members can find the right house. Two voices to choose from — pick the one that sounds like you.
3Yard Signs & Window Cling
Best for: staking in your yard or sticking on your window so the porch reads as Theo's territory year-round. Three yard-sign copy options — "Soil-Grown Veggies Live Here." is the recommended pick.
4Wallet-Sized Recruiting Card
Best for: slipping in your pocket and handing out — school pickup, church, the gym, neighbors who stop to chat. Business-card size. Print double-sided.
📱 Social Media
1Instagram & Facebook Stories
Best for: posting to your story when your porch pickup launches, on pickup day, or whenever you want to nudge neighbors toward the free-box milestone. Tap "share to story," upload the image, add a link sticker to theosharvest.com/csa. Vertical 9:16.
2Social Feed Posts
Best for: posting to your Instagram or Facebook grid. Two variants — Announcement when your porch joins the route, Fresh This Week any week of the year — each in 1:1 (square) and 4:5 (vertical) so it looks right on every feed.
3Captions to Copy & Paste
Best for: the caption box on Instagram or Facebook when you post one of the images above. Written in your voice — like you're sharing, not selling. Tap Copy, paste, edit anything that doesn't sound like you, and post.
First post
Best decision we made this year — our porch is officially a Theo's CSA pickup site. Soil-grown salad mix, carrots, radishes, kale, fresh herbs, grown two blocks from Main Street in New Port Richey, every week, all year round. Want in? theosharvest.com/csa
Our porch is on the Theo's route ✅ If you live nearby and want soil-grown veggies dropped a few houses down every week instead of a grocery run, here's where to sign up: theosharvest.com/csa
Farm-fresh veggies headed to our porch every single week — no off-season. We're hosting a Theo's CSA pickup site, and once 10 neighbors join, our box is free. If you want in, theosharvest.com/csa
