We promise to do our best to provide you with a bountiful share each week. The quantity of produce, may vary from week-to-week due to extreme weather, insects, or other production factors despite our best efforts. By joining our farm share, you are agreeing to share the risk of crop failure with us and other members. In the unlikely event of a crop failure, our procedure is as follows:
If only a small portion of crops fail, we compensate for the failed crops by filling your share with other crops grown on the farm that are ready for harvest at that time. We may cover for a crop loss by buying from other local farmers that follow the same growing principles that we follow. This may not be a feasible option for all crops because of cost or widespread failure.
In addition to our farm share, our farm sells to farmers markets, restaurants, and local stores. Our farm share receives priority. After filling our farm share with the week’s harvest first, the remaining produce is sold to our other markets. When production of crops are especially abundant, we pack as much extra as possible into your share.
We will donate one share to families in need for every 10 shares sold. We will work with local non-profits to identify families that will receive free shares.
