For 2024, there are two share sizes for an 16-week season:
Full share: $640 ($40/week)
Small share: $480 ($30/week)
Shares are for 16 consecutive weeks, beginning sometime in early July, depending on the spring weather. The full season runs through October. Pick-up is on farm, near Trent U. Shares are prepacked and ready-to-go.
What’s in a share
Your share includes a planned variety of vegetables, to keep things exciting from week to week. This includes staple crops, available just about every week, like salad greens and carrots. There is a list of currently available veggies that’s updated through the season. You can also customize your order (see below). As a rule, harvest is on the day of delivery, so it’s direct from the field, with no refrigeration. Rinsing is only when necessary. Packing uses as little plastic as possible. Your share is as fresh and direct as if it were from your own kitchen garden!
Share size
Your weekly share averages about 10-15 different vegetables over the season. Shares are smaller at the beginning, and get bigger and bigger as the main harvest months roll in. Quantities of each veggie are generous, based on availability of each crop on the harvest day, and often larger than a farmer’s market share.
Full share August 2023
Pick-up
For 2024, pick-up days and times will be set in June based on members’ preferred days and times. You’ll be able to pick up on at least two days each week, from afternoon to early evening. Special pick-up arrangements can be made within reason. Shares are ready to go, packed in recyclable bags that you can return for reuse.
Payment details
You can pay for the season in advance, or with your first pick-up. Cash payment is preferred: in a card-swiping, keypad-tapping digital world of invisible money, keeping a connection to tangible cash and your grower has its benefits!
