What Else Do You Get With Your Share?

In addition to a variety of fresh and delicious vegetables and herbs, you will receive a farm cookbook full of tasty recipes and tips on storage. A weekly newsletter is included in each box that tells what is going on at the farm that week and often additional recipes.
We host an open house farm potluck and farm tour in mid-summer and also invite you to visit the farm on your own time. (Please call ahead!)
