What does a share consist of?
Each week your produce will be carefully harvested, washed, packed for your to pick up on the scheduled day. The CSA will run for approximately 20 weeks between early June and late October, until your purchased value is met. We price a full share at about $30 per week, though sometimes the value is lower or higher. Factors such as the season, pests or difficult weather can influence the value of a week's pick-up, but the full value of your investment will be met over the course of the growing season. the cost of the vegetables in a weekly share is calculated at a lower price than at the farmer's market.  Included in the value of the share is access to a large cutting garden of herbs and flowers which can be visited at anytime during the week.

What can I expect from my share?
These are examples of what you will likely find in your share according to the season. If you are having trouble deciding on what size share to purchase, check out our blog.  Posted is the weekly CSA harvest; a list of what members found in their bags each week.
