We offer three share sizes over the course of a 5-month season
(mid June through October) :
- A full share box is approximately the size of one grocery bag full of produce each week. 2008 price $425
- Half shares are full-size boxes delivered every other week. 2008 price $325
- Quarter shares are also delivered every other week, with a smaller amount of produce. 2008 price $225
A full share will feed a family, half and quarter shares are ideal for couples and individuals.
Every box delivery includes a newsletter with recipes to help you plan your meals, tips on storing your produce, and farm news. As a member of our farm, you will get to know all the ups and downs of growing food, while you learn what grows locally and when it is ripe. Each week's box is full of different items. The amount and variety of foods included changes as the season passes, starting out with basic salad greens, building to a peak of produce in August and September, and slowing to winter squash by the end of October. Every season is a new adventure and we hope to make it enjoyable for you.
Because we practice sustainable farming, there are no guarantees that every crop will be a success. We do not use synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides, so occasionally we lose a battle to pests and disease. But the following is a list of the basic crops you can expect to receive over the season. We grow several different varieties of each crop, for example seven types of garlic, 8 types of tomatoes, 3 types of peas, and so on.
Worker shares
Worker shares, or shares with a reduced price in exchange for some labor, are available as well. We need workers, for preferably at least four hour periods, any time of day or evening. If this fits your schedule and you are interested, please contact us.
