Share Membersleeks

Share Memberships come in two sizes: A FULL SHARE is generally sized for a household of 2 to 4 adults while a HALF SHARE is sized for a household of 1 to 2 adults.

Share Members pay for their season’s share of vegetables at the start of the season and then come to the farm each week on a share day starting in late May or early June and ending in late October. Share Days are Thursdays from 3 to 7 or Saturdays from 11 to 3 . Share members may change which day they pick up their share from week to week but only may pick up a share once a week.

Share Members pick-up their share of vegetables in the Share Room with a large whiteboard on the wall listing the vegetables and quantities in the share that week. The farm crew harvests almost all vegetables for our members. The exceptions are the more labour intensive U-Pick crops like peas, beans, and strawberries (to name only a few) which members can pick for themselves. The U-Pick Board outlines what crops and quantities are available for u-pick each week and the U-Pick Map shows members where the crops are. Share members can come any time Monday-Sunday between 8-5 to do their U-Pick.

Briefly, Share members

  • Eat with the seasons. Get enough organic vegetables for a household of 2 to 4 adults (full share) or 1 to 2 adults (half share). Please see Harvest Plan for crop details.

  • Get U-Pick privileges for a share of U-Pick Crops.
