Becoming a Member

We are currently taking renewals and new share holders for 2010. Since we only have a limited number of shares available on a first come first serve basis, please submit your commitment form ASAP to reserve your share and lock in at 2009 prices.

In exchange for your share fee you will receive your sharein one of two forms: an on-farm pick-up or boxed and delivered to a specified delivery location.

Share Options

Full Family Share

A full bushel basket of produce weekly - $640.00

You will receive approximately a bushel box of vegetables in season for that particular week. You can decide between a mix and match box at the farm or a pre-packed box delivered to your desired location. Early in the season boxes will be filled mostly with greens and lighter produce items and will increase in weight and variety as the season progresses. The box contents depend upon crop maturity and seasonal availability. They typically include: salad greens, cooking greens (kale/chard/spinach), cabbage, root crops (beets, carrots, potatoes, garlic, culinary herbs and fruiting crops (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, squash, etc).

Split Share

A full bushel basket split with your partner - $320.00

If a full/couples share offers too much, please find someone to split your share with. You can split your box with whomever you choose by either dividing each weeks share or alternating weeks. This can be applied to either the mix and match or the boxed deliveries. You work out the details with your splitting partner. If you are having a difficult time finding a splitting partner, send in your commitment form and deposit, and we will find a partner for you.

Couples Share

Three quarters of a bushel of produce weekly - $515.00

You will receive approximately ³⁄₄ bushel box of produce each week. As with the other share options, you choose between a mix and match at the farm, or a pre-packed box delivered to your location.

With this option, you will be able to fill your own box from a variety of produce available that particular week. You will have some ability to choose, from the options offered, within some guidelines.

Some vegetables will not be washed.
