We grow over 60 types of vegetables, providing our members with a weekly supply of nutrient-rich, tasty produce. Our weekly box typically contains from 8 to 14 items, depending on the season. We offer two pick-up options: delivery to a neighborhood drop-spot, and pick-up at the farm. Our food is ecologically-grown, meaning we focus first on building soil. We use crop rotations, insectories, cover crops, natural soil amenments and timely plantings to create a vibrant agricultural ecology, and absolutely avoid any synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. We pick our food at their peak of maturity, eating quality and flavor, so you know you're getting the best stuff at an affordable price while supporting local farming. We love growing directly for our members!
