 What does it cost?

The cost of the food varies according to the type of share you purchase. For the 26-week main season, three types of shares are offered.

  • Full: 6-10 items per week, depending on the time of season. Pricing is on a sliding scale to accommodate people of varying incomes: $440, $520 (the "break even" cost for our farmers), $600, or $680 (approx. $17, $20, $23, or $26 per week) for the same amount of food. Choosing the upper range helps the folks who can only afford the lower range and assures the farmers a fair price for their produce. An annual membership fee of $15 is also required.
  • Shared: The same size and sliding scale cost as a Full share. Cost, work, and produce are divided among the households sharing the share. An annual membership fee of $15 per household is also required.
  • Partial: 4-6 items per week depending on the time of season. Set cost: $325 ($12.50 per week, no sliding scale) plus an annual membership fee of $15.

Every member signs a contract for the 26-week season. A down payment of at least $50 is required to join. The remainder may be paid in a lump sum or in increments designated on your contract. Food stamps are accepted. Bulk and special orders are paid for separately when ordered.
