FRUITSHARE
Summer-farm pickup $325/ neighborhood dropsite $335
Fall-farm pickup $97

New for 2010! Summer FruitShares are available for delivery to your neighborhood dropsite!

Receive a box of peak-season fruit every other week throughout the season along with a newsletter and recipes. While not all of the fruit is local, it is all certified Organic and comes from small family orchards we all feel great about supporting. We have two FruitShare options available for the 2010 season, scheduled closely with our vegetable shares.

BARTER BOXES full!

We have a limited number of Summer’s Best and/or Fall Harvest shares available for work/trade.

We are especially interested in certain skill sets including but not limited to mechanical, computer/technical, general office help, early-season field prep. Each trade is valued and arranged based on type of work performed. For example, a barter of a mechanic’s services may require fewer hours than a barter of general office help.

Both parties will sign an agreement to the terms of the trade to ensure clear communication regarding expectations on both ends. We’ve had great success with this in the past and look forward to another season of trade relationships in 2010.
