What we grow
You, the member, get to choose what is in your share each week. This means, that if you don’t like kale you never have to choose it!
We aim to have staples like carrots and salad mix every week and slightly fussier treats like broccoli and cucumbers as often as possible.
We also grow sweet cherry tomatoes, juicy slicers, eggplant, tender red peppers, crunchy cabbage, and more!
Share Sizes
The small share receives 5-7 items a week and is aimed at a family who doesn’t eat a lot of veggies or someone who wants to supplement their large garden with the crops they they don’t grow! The small share is $500, a value of $25 per week.
The regular share, a popular share size, receives 7-10 items week and is aimed at a family of avid vegetable eaters. The regular share is $700, a value of $35 per week.
