Our Weekly Vegetable Shares (also called Community Supported Agriculture shares) are a partnership between the farmer and share members. Interested consumers purchase a share before the growing season starts. Once the growing season arrives, share members receive a weekly vegetable share. The farmer and the share members share in the risks and rewards of growing vegetables. The farmer receives payment at a time when expenses are highest. Share members receive a 10% bonus of vegetables as a thank-you for paying in advance.
