How does it work?

You sign up to receive one of our three different share size options (see below) by April 15th.  We do all of the growing and tending for you and you receive your plants in two segments, one for early season cool weather crops (around May 1st) and one for warm season crops ( around May 25th)  Pickups occur at the Pittsfield Farmers Market, at the farm, or we can deliver directly to your garden. (delivery fees apply)  You are allowed to select your own varieties within each plant category.  Substitutions can be made if you are not fond of certain vegetables, just send us an email or place your selections in the comments section of your order.

This share is open for signups until March 1st and is not eligible for our additional 20% early bird discount as a 35% savings is already built into the share cost.
