Farm Share members receive a bountiful selection of just-picked produce, grown naturally and sustainably. The weekly variety and quantity increase as the seasons progress. Farm Share members will receive lots of favorites (such as lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots) as well as smaller amounts of some more novel items (such as bok choy, radicchio and daikon radish). A list of the produce that we are planting is here.

For many members, the connection to the farm is as valuable as the produce that they receive. When members visit the farm, they and their friends and family have the opportunity to connect with the source of their food, and to learn more about sustainable agriculture. All members can enjoy hearing weekly reports from the fields and knowing that they are helping to sustain a vibrant local farm.

Weekly Farm Share members can expect to receive 8-10 varieties of produce per week (a total of 5-20 pounds per week). The season runs for 22 weeks, from June-October.

In addition to the veggies that are picked for you every week, you will have access to the farm's bountiful Pick-Your-Own garden which includes a wide variety of herbs and flowers, as well as some seasonal treats like sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, and tomatillos. Members are welcome to visit the Pick-Your-Own garden during share pick-up hours on Tuedays, or anytime on Saturdays.

If you would prefer a smaller quantity of vegetables, you may sign up for an "every-other week" share. This allows you to pick up vegetables every second week throughout the 22 week season. We will assign you either "Week A" (pickups beginning June 1st) or "Week B" (pickups begin June 8th). You must stick to the schedule that you select-- we cannot accommodate switching weeks during the season.

There are two options for a Farm Share:

The price for a Weekly Farm Share is $590 per year, and includes vegetables every week for 22 weeks plus picking from our pick-your-own garden (during share pick-up hours or on Saturdays).

The price for an Every-Other Week Share is $325 per year, and includes vegetables every other week for 22 weeks, plus picking from our pick-your-own garden (during share pick-up hours on your pick-up week or on Saturdays).

Discounts may be available to those who are unable to pay the full price of a share; if you receive some type of Public Assistance (Food Stamps/EBT, Public Housing, etc.) you can get a Farm Share for $10 per week or less. Contact the organizers about this to work out the details.

Members are not required to do any work on the farm. However, many members enjoy volunteering at the farm and learning more about where their food comes from; and the farmers enjoy working with members and getting to know them better. Hearty Roots hosts several work parties during the season, especially for events such as Onion Planting and Garlic Harvest, which are highlights for many members. Members are also encouraged to help out once per season during pick-up time at the farm, to help make sure things go smoothly as produce is distrubuted to members. It's a great opportunity to get to know your fellow Farm Share members!

The membership form is available here. Please print out the form and mail it in with full payment or a deposit. Most members sign up during the winter or early spring, as we expect to sell out before the first pick-up.
