Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer half shares or an every other week option?

We do not offer half shares. We suggest splitting the share with a friend and/or alternating pickups.

How do the 4 week harvest/half season options work?

Both the 4 week harvest and half season shares are for either 4 or 14 consecutive weeks of vegetables (respectively). You can continue your membership when your weeks are done.

Can I join for the 4 week harvest and renew my membership if I like it?

Absolutely. If you decide to continue and would like to extend for the rest of the season, we will prorate the amount at the full season rate. Or you can renew for another 4 weeks, or choose the half season (14 weeks) option.

Can I visit the farm?

Yes, we have three open houses throughout the season, and we encourage all members to come take a walk through the fields! 2011 open house dates TBA.

What if I go out of town?

If you are a Full Season or Half Season member, you can place your box on hold up to 4 times (Full Season members) or 2 times (Half Season members), and receive a credit slip (value $22) that can be used to shop at any of our farmers market stands in 2012. If you use all of your allotted vacation holds, any boxes you place on hold will be donated.

If you're a 4 week harvest member and place your box on hold, it will be donated. If you’re going out of town, we suggest arranging to have a friend pick it up (and remind them to check off your name on the checklist). It’s a good idea to check your calender before subscribing.
