Welcome! Thankyou for your interest in buying a share in this years harvest!

How it works:

You buy a share now, according to your households' needs (see below) and, starting in mid-June and running until mid October, we will provide you with a box of fresh, locally grown, seasonal vegetables. Please refer to the article titled "What we are growing", for the approximate contents of your box. Because of the changing growing season, we ask that you join with us, the farmer, in experiencing the various vegetables as they naturally mature. This may mean that some weeks your box may be lighter, however we assure you that as the season progresses, you will receive more substantial vegetables. It is important to us that you get the most for your money, while at the same time you eat locally and seasonally.

Also, those who are members of our food-share program will be eligible for discounts on bulk vegetables at the end of the season, ie. tomatoes for canning, sweet corn, onions for storing or whatever we have left over at the end of the season.

To insure that your boxes will be worthwhile, we may partner with other small-farmers to insure that we maintain food variety and adequate quantity.
