What is the Market Share program?

You probably already know the deal with CSA’s – they help out farmers with early season business expenses such as buying seeds, paying early season employees and investing in early season infrastructure. They also offer a way for you, the consumer, to get a little further invested in a farm you might already like to support, plus you’re guaranteed a supply of delicious local veggies throughout the growing season. It’s pretty much a win-win. Our market share program is different than a traditional CSA in that rather than a weekly box of veggies, you invest early season at a discount, then get to show up to either of our twice weekly markets whenever is convenient for you and choose whatever you want, all summer long. You don’t even need to bring your wallet - we’ll track your balance for you. Need extra for a dinner party? Perfect! Prepping for a canning project? We got you! It’s like a CSA without the constraints. Early season support to us as farmers and delicious, locally sourced organic veggies at a discounted price for you.
