How does a vegetable share work?
A share is a portion of the weekly vegetable harvest. One
share of vegetables is intended to average 7 lbs of
vegetable plus greens. The summer and winter season are
each 18 weeks. We plan to begin summer shares in June and
the winter shares in October.
In addition to vegetables, we offer
freshly baked bread, a cow share program, mushrooms, raw
cheese and periodically meat from our cows or steers. Our
newsletter will keep you
updated on the season and give you recipe ideas
Barter work for vegetables
We have a few barter share positions for the coming summer
season available. For a commitment of 3 hours work on the
farm every week for 24 weeks (from May - October) you can
earn your share of the vegetable harvest. Please contact the farm for
more information.

Corn: Until we know for sure
that GMO Roundup-Ready corn and other GMO types are not
grown in our area, we will not risk growing sweet corn
because of the chance of cross pollution. Join us and the
Organic Consumers Association by demanding a global
moratorium on all genetically engineered foods and
crops. www.organicconsumers.org
