As of December 2009, we are starting to sell our remaining shares to people who have been on our waiting list. We will continue to do so until we sell-out for the season. If you would like to join our waiting list, please click here. The demand for locally grown produce continues to grow and we are doing our best to accommodate as many people as we can.
A share for 2010 is $525.
For the price of a share you'll get a lot! Including:
First & Foremost — FOOD!
You'll get a weekly share from our farm shop starting around early June and running until Thanksgiving (about 25 weeks). It is a great variety that will change slightly every week. Visit The Food page to learn more about the food you'll get in your share. In general, you can expect a delicious selection of produce that includes the old standbys like carrots, lettuce, melons, tomatoes and broccoli as well as some lesser-known foods like collard greens, buttercup squash, tatsoi and rutabaga. We love diversity and we hope to fill your bag each and every week with tasty, healthy and interesting foods from our fields.
We Grow Other Things For You Too
Mainly flowers, herbs, and gourds. We think you'll enjoy a walk through the fields on a late summer afternoon picking bunches of flowers and annual and perennial herbs.
Time At The Farm
As a shareholder, you'll have the opportunity to spend time at the farm (assuming you have a little time to spend!) Take a walk through the woods on the trails, bring some veggie scraps to the pigs, attend a campfire or potluck supper, volunteer with the crew, or have a picnic in the shade behind the farm shop. We believe it's your farm too and we want you to be able to explore and enjoy it! There is a private residence on the farm, so we'll let you know the areas that are OK to explore.
More Food!
When available we'll sell extra food at bulk prices for those who like to can, freeze, and stock-up. We'll let you know throughout the season when these crops are available.
Information
We'll keep you informed about your food, our farming practices and all the goings-on at the farm. You'll receive regular newsletters, recipes, and invitations to events. We'll also let you know how to do things like save seeds, and preserve foods so you get the most from your food and your experience at Fernbrook.
Value, Convenience and More
We think you'll really get your money's worth at Fernbrook Farm CSA. Fresh, organic food is often expensive at the store and we strive to give you a much better value in terms of quality, taste and price. And we think coming to Fernbrook is a lot more fun than a trip to the supermarket!
Pick-Up Times
You can pick-up your share once a week on either Saturday or Tuesday. The week “starts” on the Saturday, so for example, you could come on either Saturday June 9th or Tuesday, June 12th. If you pick-up on the 12th, you can pick-up your next share on Saturday, June 16th and so on. You don't have to stick to Saturdays or Tuesdays. Pick-up times are:
- Saturdays, 8am – 1pm
- Tuesdays, 1pm – 7pm
U-Pick crops can be picked any weekday from 7am – 7pm as long as the fields are dry.
