We are excited to have you join our summer vegetable and fruit share! Information about the share and directions on how to sign up are below!
2023 Options: We pack boxes with the fresh produce we have in season each week. We send out a weekly newsletter to let you know what will be in your box and give you recipes.
Full Summer CSA Box Share: $460 Runs every week, June 14th- October 25th (20 weeks)
This share works great for families or 2 hearty veggie eaters that want fresh veggies every week.
Half Summer CSA Box Share: $230 Runs every OTHER week, June 14th- October 25th (10 weeks)
The every other week schedule works great for people that want to supplement produce they may get from their own gardens or for 1-2 person households.
Also works great for people that travel a lot during the summer and don't want to have to pick up veggies every week.
Benefits of picking up at our farm:
Each week we will have several items for you to mix and match in your box- so you have flexibility within the pre-determined CSA share.
For example, in Week 6, each CSA share might receive:
1/2 pound lettuce mix
2 pounds of tomatoes
4 ears of corn
1 bunch of kale or baby bok choi
1 bunch of beets or salad turnips
1 pound of onions or 1 bunch of scallions
