For the first time, I am offering a free choice share. My goals for this option are to help people take the next step in eating local and seasonal foods, to experience the abundance of the farm, to gain a closer connection to the farm, and to eat a larger amount of healthy, fresh food.
Members will come to the farm each week on Tuesday and choose from each of the share types available. This includes vegetables, meat, eggs, and bread. Additional products will also be available such as honey, soap, and milk. During the summer, members will have access to larger quantities of vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers for canning. Most products will be available in unlimited quantities. For example, members can decide if they will use 2 dozen or 5 dozen eggs, chicken or pork, 1 gallon or 5 gallons of milk. Some products will come in limited quantities. For example, I might not have unlimited quantities of strawberries or T bone steaks.
This season begins April 1 and will continue year round. I will have other occasional products available during the year such as pickles, jellies, cheese, pesto, yogurt, and other homemade foods. These will be more frequent during the cooler months when the farm work is slower and the amount of vegetables is lower. I have built 4 vacation weeks into the share cost. This means that you will be expected to miss 4 weeks during the year due to vacation or illness.
Payment is required in 2 month increments and costs are figured per person in your household. The price listed pays for 2 adults for 2 months. Children's price is $2/week for every year over age 3. You can sign up for this option in the 'Vegetable Share' section above. Please contact me with any questions.
