Growing food is risky business. There are no guarantees with the weather and plenty of moving parts in our operation, but we hope to mitigate those risks with diversity. Joining us for a season provides us with a cushin to start off on the right foot. Take a chance on us, so we can plant forward a share in the abundance of good food & healthier choices into the fall.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR WEEKLY FARM SHARE

We grow over 30 different vegetable and herb crops and we aim to feature most of them in your weekly Farm Share over the season. The following gives you a general idea of what you can expect on a seasonal basis.

SWAP Box

If you’re tired of turnips or have leftover lettuce you can use our swap box to switch out of the items in your share for another item. The swap box will contain a variety of items, some similar to those in your share, so you can double up on something you just can’t get enough of or snag something special.  

LOGISTICS

Holiday/Away Policy

• It is helpful to know if you’re going to be away but we aren’t able to credit you for weeks that you will miss.

• We encourage you to find a friend or family member who can pick up the vegetables instead of you.

• If this isn’t possible we’ll make sure the vegetables don’t go to waste.

Late Pick Ups

• Life happens, we get it! If you are late to pick up your vegetables we will call you using the phone number you provided when signing up.

• If you cannot meet us within 10 minutes of the drop off ending we will take your share back to our farm in Barss Corner.

• You will have 2 days following your pick up day to arrange to come to the farm to pick up your vegetables. After 2 days we will ensure the vegetables are eaten and don’t go to waste.
