Share Information

How Does It Work?

Shareholders receive a weekly delivery of freshly harvested, seasonal organic vegetables for approximately 22 weeks, starting early June and finishing early November. The weekly share will average 8-9 items with one share generally providing vegetables enough for two adults with two children. Farm newsletters will keep you in touch with farm activities and recipes.

For those who want a bit less produce, we suggest that you find a friend, neighbor, family member, or co-worker to be your share partner. The easiest way to split the share is to take turns with your partner, each picking up your shared CSA box every other week. Call it your every-other-week CSA! And if you cannot find a share partner, contact Justine who will do her best to pair you with another CSA-loving family. (She’s quite the matchmaker!)

How do egg and fruit shares work?

We will be offering an egg share (1 dozen each week for the entire 22 week season). The eggs are from Hidden Camp Farm where the hens are USDA Certified Organic and are kept on pasture where they can eat grass and bugs, take dust baths, and strut!

The fruit share will come from a number of local farmers and where possible will be organic, but the majority of the fruit will be conventionally grown. The share will run for 12 weeks, typically beginning in July and ending in September. We hope to start with cherries, followed by blueberries. Stone fruit (plums, apricots, peaches, and nectarines) will follow and we will finish with apples and pears.

Are vegetables available during the winter months?

We intend to offer to both CSA and non-CSA members a Winter Vegetable Box in 2021 for up to four pick up times, two in November and two in December. Each box will contain root crops (potatoes, celeriac, sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets), winter squash, along with leeks, kale, and onions. The winter box in November and December will weigh approximately 35 lbs., price TBD.

Are working shares available?

Any CSA shareholder wishing to volunteer at the farm is very welcome. We also offer a limited number of working shares that give a $40 discount in exchange for a total of 8 hours of work both at the farm and in other capacities such as working at the distribution sites or at the Farmers’ Markets. Please call us in advance of completing your membership agreement form for availability.
