How it works
The harvest season lasts from about June 15 to the first
week of October. On your selected delivery day, visit your chosen
drop site between the hours of 5:00 and 9:00 pm. Here you will find a
canvas bag marked with your name on a clothes pin attached to the
bag. Remove the clothes pin and attach it next to your name on the
announcement board. Take the bag home with you, empty it and bring it
back the next week.
A full share, with 15-35 pounds of produce picked fresh
from the fields, is enough to feed a typical family of four. A
variety of vegetables are delivered
each week. Shares will be delivered weekly for approximately 15 to 18
weeks, depending on the length of the growing season and the share
type. In addition to delicious fresh vegetables and herbs, you will
also receive decorative flowers, a weekly newsletter
(sample) with updates and
recipes, and announcements of farm
festivals.
Tentative date of first delivery is mid-June.
How much does it cost?
Full share $550
Half share $280
A deposit of at least $100 is due when you sign up, and
final payments are due August 1, 2008.
If you choose the half share option, you will have to find
a share partner. Ask your friends, neighbors or co-workers. Have them
send in their own membership information card and payment. You both
have to pick up at the same drop site. The bag is not divided into
half shares when it comes from the farm and must be split either at
the site or taken home and divided. The half share price includes $10
for administrative costs. If you have any questions about splitting a
share, please call Kate at 715-455-1569.
