SHARES

Vegetable Shares

If you would like to get shares for our whole season, you must get both the Summer Share and the Fall Share.  For 2012 we are not offering a full season share because of the way the signup software works.

All the vegetables and fruit you will receive are Certified Organic with a few exceptions.  If we have an exception, we will let you know ahead that it is coming.  For example, in 2011 we obtained strawberries from a local Amishman that were not certified, but were raised using organic management. 

The Summer Vegetable Share is a part season share that begins the first week of May and ends the last week of August (September 1 for the Bryn Mawr pickup site).  A total of 18 weeks. You can choose between weekly or biweekly delivery.  Summer Vegetable Share members will enjoy lots of salad and crisp greens to start off in the spring, transitioning to ripe tomatoes and many other favorites throughout the summer.

The Fall Vegetable Share is a part season share that begins the first week of September and goes through the second full week of November.  The final delivery will be the week ending Saturday, November 17.  A total of 11 weeks.    You can choose weekly or biweekly delivery.  Since the Fall Season is an odd number of weeks, some biweekly members will receive 5 deliveries and some will receive 6, depending which week your shares are delivered.

Here in Pennsylvania during the Fall a surprising number of vegetables can still be harvested. Fall Vegetable Share members can expect some delicious meals including winter squash, sweet potatoes, and fresh broccoli and cauliflower. The last week will feature items suitable for your Thanksgiving meal.

While we do offer the biweekly delivery, Farmer Bud highly recommends getting the weekly delivery and finding someone who will "share the share" with you.  Biweekly shares are subject to missing out on some of the crops due to the unpredictable nature of harvest schedules.  We can only plan approximate harvest dates, but as we saw in 2011, the weather can change that by 2 weeks from the previous year!

Share sizes- We do not offer half shares.  Instead we pack 1 size box and offer it to you weekly or biweekly.  Share boxes will average at least 8 items over the course of the season, but will vary as the harvest dictates. A Weekly Share is expected to feed 2-4 people, depending on how often you cook and your household's appetite. Weekly Share members receive a box every week. Biweekly Share members receive a box every other week. Biweekly Share members may not receive the complete variety of vegetables due to the every other week schedule; we'll do our best.

Boxes - We pack your share in a re-usable waxed produce box for maximum freshness. Each week when you pick up your share, please return the box to the host site for reuse.

      • Summer Weekly Vegetable Share (18 boxes): $550.00
      • Summer Biweekly Vegetable Share (9 Boxes): $275.00
      • Fall Weekly Vegetable Share (11 boxes): $375.10
      • Fall Biweekly Vegetable Share (5 or 6 Boxes): $171.25 or $205.50

Egg Shares

Our eggs are from pastured chickens. Weekly Egg shares are 1 dozen eggs every week, Biweekly Egg shares are 1 dozen eggs every other week. 

      • Summer Weekly Egg Share (18 dozen): $78
      • Summer Biweekly Egg Share (9 dozen): $39
      • Fall Weekly Egg Share (11 dozen): $47.85
      • Fall Biweekly Egg Share (5 or 6 dozen): $21.75 or $26.10

Yogurt Shares

The yogurt shares consist of one quart of plain full fat yogurt per week. The yogurt is made from certified organic milk from cows grazing on organic pastures.

      • Summer Weekly Yogurt share (18 quarts): $73.80
      • Summer Biweekly Yogurt share (9 quarts): $36.90
      • Fall Weekly Yogurt share (11 quarts): $45.10
      • Fall Biweekly Yogurt share (5 or 6 quarts): $20.50 or $24.60

Discounts and Payments

Payments can be made by check or credit card.  There is a 2% discount for paying by check.  Your check must be received by us before you will be considered a member.  You can choose to pay the whole amount at once or you can make 4 payments for Summer Shares and 2 Payments for Fall Shares.  If you want to make multiple payments by check, please email or call.
