Summer Market-Style

Farm Share

IMG_20160723_090352.jpg
 
 

Have you ever joined a CSA or farm share and been overwhelmed by food you don't know how to cook, or know your family won't eat?  Or maybe you leave town every summer for a month and don't want to lose out on weeks of produce you've already paid for?

Our market-style Farm Share provides convenience, flexibility, and choice.  Oh, and a sweet discount.

Customers join with a $500 payment, which establishes a "tab" with us.  That tab can be used when you want, for what you want. We raise pastured pork, chicken, turkey, and eggs, 100% grass-fed beef, and a wide range of organically grown vegetables. Everything you purchase goes on your tab, with a 10% discount thrown in. 

Shop when you want.  Take home what you want.  Join any time.  

Our Summer Market-Style Share season runs from May-March, and if you use up your whole balance before the start of next year’s season, you continue to receive a 10% discount, but pay as you go.

Share Credit can be used either at the Petworth Farmers Market or at our seasonal farmstand.  On farm customers are also invited to stop by ANYTIME to use our farm store on the honor system.

What's more, we host several potlucks, farm tours, and fun farm events over the course of the season for Farm Share members.

Winter Farm Share

Our monthly winter farm share allows customers to enjoy the best of fresh produce, eggs, and meat in what can be a hard season for locavores.  Each share includes 4-7 kinds of fresh veggies from our greenhouses , 10 pounds of free-choice storage veggies, a customizable selection of our meats, and two dozen eggs.  Our winter share member save 10% off of the retail price of our farm food, and many of our fresh veggies are grown exclusively for shareholders.

Winter produce is often a revelation to our members: the carrots are crisper, the spinach is sweeter, the lettuce keeps for weeks in the fridge.  Much as we'd like to take credit, this is nature's way of surviving a frost--anything hardy enough to survive sub-freezing temperatures does so by adding sugars to its cells.  Our unheated greenhouses warm up by day and freeze by night, leading to produce that is unlike anything you've eaten before.

Winter Farm Shares are available on the farm or delivered to North Chevy Chase Christian Church

*the suggested meat share is exactly that, a suggestion.  Customers are invited to sub in or out any cut.  We keep track of individual choices and relative values and, at the end of the season settle up if a customer has taken extra meat, or is entitled to more.
