Community Supported Vegetable Baskets


2012 Organic vegetable basket program

Look at our new On-line subscription form here!

We distribute our vegetables through weekly or bi-weekly baskets.
The subscription is for the entire distribution period which runs between June 19th and november 1st. These baskets include a mix of vegetables along with some fresh herbs and fruits according to the time of season. To see the 50 different varieties of vegetable that we grow click here--Our Vegetables--. We are commited to deliver a good diversity of vegetable each week. Each basket includes enough vegetables to provide for two adults who eat lots of vegetables during a week.
