Shares of the Harvest
The garden is carefully planned to yield a variety of seasonal vegetables every week for twenty weeks or more. We are planning to produce eight shares in 2009.
A share is designed for a family of four, a half share for a couple or smaller family.
Whole share, $600
Half share $350
Picking up your vegetables
You have signed up of a pickup day, either Tuesday or Friday. We pick your vegetables in the morning, and have them ready for you by 1 PM. There will be something for you every week until the end of the growing season, which will be in late October or possibly early November.
Unclaimed bags:
We leave the bags of vegetables out till the end of the day; we check the coolers after we finish supper, and bring in any unclaimed bags. We either use the food ourselves or give it away.
If you can't get here on your day
If you need more time to pick up your vegetables, call us and leave a message, and we will add some ice and leave them out for you.
When you are away
If you are going to be away or can’t pick up at all, please let us know ahead of time if you can. I will divide your share among the other shareholders that week. Since most shareholders have to skip a week when they are away, it tends to even out over the course of the season.
The Garden
The garden is off to the right as you stand facing the coolers. I take a lot of pride and pleasure in the garden, and am happy to have you come look around. The area behind the gate is our back yard. We prefer that to remain private.
Contacting us
The quickest way to contact us is to call

and leave a message.
I usually check my email in the morning, but occasionally don’t get to it for a day.
