What to expect
This is the forecasted schedule for the season! The veggies in grey boxes you will be getting that week. The veggies in the orange boxes we don't have enough in one week to give to everyone. What that means is you will get it, it will just be evenly distributed over the period they are available, not each week they are available. For example, strawberries are in season through 4 weeks in July, but you might not get them till the 3rd week depending on production. Some veggies like peas, tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, and zucchini as well as maybe beans, Asian broccoli, and cantaloupe you will get multiple times over the season.
This is just a forecast! Weather and other factors can and will alter this schedule.

Why a CSA?
A harvest box program is a CSA (community supported agriculture) model where you and members of your community invest in supporting a farm. The most expensive and least profitable part of the season is at the beginning. This is when farmers put in huge amounts of work and money with no income until crops are ready.
This makes farming incredibly risky as income isn’t even guaranteed when crops are ready.
A CSA gives you the chance to provide stability by investing in the farm at the start of the season. Each week of the season you receive a veggie box with the best produce harvested that week!
