How to tell if the Farm Share is a good fit for you.
Take a moment, answer these questions honestly, and see what our members had to say.
If these questions resonate with you, it’s time to become a member.
Do you want to rewrite your relationship with food?
“Nourishes the sense that we are eating the way we want to support”
“It’s physical well being, preventative care, its the only body we have”
“Farm share pick up feels like an outing, a treat.”
Eating like this is a journey, no one is an overnight success. Including your farmers.
It takes time, effort and practice to work into your life, budget and schedule.
Cooking and eating are half the battle.
Can you commit to preparing meals a few times a week?
“It has brought me and my spouse closer, we prepare meals together, its our weekly thing”
Its’s become an invitation to start spending time with their kids, spouses or themselves.
Preparing your farm share is an opportunity to check in with yourself: becoming present, being embodied.
Slow down, listen to a favorite album, enjoy a glass of wine, its all about connecting with the moment.
I can’t sugar coat this one, you need to cook if you are going to participate in the farm share.
Do you want to eat the best locally available foods ?
“I’ll make it work in my budget, clean food keeps you healthy and off of pills”
“I believe in what ya’ll are doing, makes me happy that I can do my part”
“Love the taste, getting protein in a local extremely healthy way”
If you are what you eat, eats. Then it’s crucial that your food is coming from a clean thriving farm.
We provide real nutrient dense foods, humanely cared for & delicious.
We are so much more than Local, we strive to go above and beyond the organic certification requirements.
We never ever use chemicals, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, antibiotics, hormones, GMO’s or Soy.
Do Taste, Quality and freshness matter to you?
“Flavor like I’ve never had before”
“Absolutely Delicious, extremely local, happy and well fed”
“Tried other farmers, and it just wasn’t the same”
Simple. Clean. Delicious. Its easy to enjoy foods that are good for you when they taste this good.
High quality, fresh real foods are easy & quick to prepare.
They don’t require tons of other ingredients or complicated cooking methods.
Vegetables harvested hours before delivery, it doesn’t get fresher than that.
Meats of the finest quality, raised on pasture, humanely cared for from start to finish.
Do you care about the dignity of the animals you eat?
“As a vegetarian, this is the only place I eat chicken, its humanely raised. I just couldn't if it wasn’t.
“Grocery stores take away my responsibility”
Our members care deeply about the dignity, welfare, and quality of life of the animals they consume.
As one member put it “Happy things are yummy things”
This is a deep truth, the excellent quality of life that they have directly affects the flavor, tenderness, and available nutrients, as well as the lack of stress hormones.
Are you open to trying new foods? (Really?…)
Our farm shares are based on staples that you love, things you buy regularly but the “New” foods sprinkled in throughout the season are what keep it fun and adventurous.
Let’s be clear, new foods doesn’t mean weird foods. You won’t find organ meat, or bizarre vegetables in your share, but you will discover new things that become favorites.
Heirloom vegetables that you cannot find in the grocery, the flavor is unreal and stunning.
Baking with Lard, eating sweet salad turnips, making rich bone broths and stuffing patty pan squash…
All started as adventures in my kitchen that have turned into staples, that our kids request them by name.
Are you willing to waste some foods?
This question makes me cringe a little and I know our members hate to waste farm fresh foods too.
But the truth is, sometimes lettuce will go bad in the fridge, or a you will make a completely inedible meal.
I have been there, I still do it, we all laugh about those terrible meals. It happens, don’t beat yourself up.
You have to be willing to try a new recipe and fail, to learn and keep cooking.
We have a printable pdf guide to help you cook vegetables on the brink, to help minimize waste.
