Questions
What Guarantees Do I Have That I'll Receive What's In The Chart?
You don’t have any.  However, we have kept meticulous records for ten years, and we feel confident that the yields set forth in the chart are realistic for an average growing season.
Do I Have Any Choice Of What's In My Share?
Yes, to a point.  Each share will include certain popular items such as salad materials (lettuce, cukes, scallions, etc.), spinach, tomatoes, summer squash, garlic, potatoes and basil.  Members will be able to choose from a variety of greens, depending on their tastes.  Herbs such as cilantro, dill, parsley, sage, tarragon, mint, chive and rosemary are available every week.  Finally, there is a “Swap” table and a “Seconds” table to offer additional choice.  For example, a member who doesn’t want her share of eggplant that week may place it on the swap table and replace it with the zucchini that someone else didn’t want.  The “Seconds” table is where all those ugly but edible vegetables will be, i.e. weird looking tomatoes, crooked carrots and knobby potatoes.  Members may help themselves to the “Seconds” table anytime.
Can A Share Be Shared?
Yes, but only one box will be provided each week.  Families sharing a share are responsible for dividing the weekly amount between themselves or picking up a box on alternate weeks, whichever they prefer.
When Can I  Pick Up My Share?
Pick-up times are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, or later by arrangement.  Each pick-up day is limited to 25 shares (including Working Shares) on a first-come, first-served basis. You must make a choice on the Agreement Form.  Members are welcome to visit the farm for PYO or just plain socializing from 8 am to 6:30 pm any day but Sunday.  Children are welcome, subject to a few safety rules about barns and equipment.
