What’s in a Basket?
We produce more than 50 kinds of vegetables of different varieties, as well as berries (mostly blueberries, black currants, and strawberries from time to time). The content of our baskets, or shares, varies from week to week. We fill them with seasonal produce. At the beginning of the season, this means a lot of leafy greens (spinach, lettuce, etc.). Later in the season, our baskets include summer classics like tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. We close out the season with fall root vegetables (see below for sample seasonal basket contents). Usually, vegetable quantities amount to the equivalent of 1 to 2 grocery bags per week. We provide weekly information on basket contents by e-mail and under Weekly Updates.
Trades
We determine share contents every week based on the harvest. The concept is to have you discover a broader variety of vegetables than you may otherwise select on your own. That said, we will always bring extra vegetables to allow you to trade one or two vegetables for something you may prefer.
