what makes up a share?
Our CSA harvest season offers 22 consecutive weekly shares from June to November. The first week is designated by the availability of the harvest. A share consists of produce picked at the peak of its ripeness and flavor. Most produce is harvested within 24 hours of pick-up and amounts are distributed proportionately between regular and small shares. Weekly share size is subject to the abundance of the harvest and determined by the season. Expect lighter shares and a lot of greens in spring and fall, and heavier shares with greater diversity in the heart of summer. Please visit our in season page for what we plan to grow this season.
Additionally, we will share recipes and preservation tips on our grateful bites page and lessons from the field in our blog grateful read. We also anticipate hosting CSA member-only and public farm events throughout the season. Visit our grateful days page for event updates and information.
