 From fall through spring we supply organic produce in set boxes for pre-ordering. On Saturdays members receive an email describing the approximate box contents and prices (actual contents may vary due to quality or availability). Orders must be placed by 4PM on Mondays. Members pick up their boxes and pay between 1PM Thursday and noon Saturday at Ward's Berry Farm (614 South Main St., Sharon).
We are NOT a subscription service. Members order week by week, with the option of having their order placed automatically every week.
Our boxes include as much local produce as possible. As the season gets colder, we balance them with non-local produce, mostly purveyed by a Western Massachusetts farmer who follows the growing season south, all the way to Florida. This is a double benefit! We are both helping support another Massachusetts farm during the difficult off-season, and also eliminating thousands of petromiles by purchasing as close to home as possible. Most of the items in our boxes are certified organic; however, we occasionally include some local transitional and non-certified organically grown produce, as well as wild items. These items are always clearly identified, and ONLY included if we are familiar with the farm, and certain that the growing methods used conform with organic standards.
