Q: What will be in my vegetable box?
Box
Sizes
We offer two box sizes: large and small.
A large box will usually
contain about 8-10 items and the small box will contain about 6-8 items. However, depending on the particular vegetables included each week, the boxes
may not appear full. On other weeks, they may be too full to close. If
you are going to be concerned about how full the box is each week, this is not a
good program for you to join. For a
complete list of the vegetables we grow click
here.
We
are often asked how many people a box feeds. It really depends on how many
vegetables your family eats and how many meals you eat at home. Below is
an example of what may be in a typical large and small winter box.
Extra
Produce
We will gladly supply available "extra" produce, over and above what
is included in your box, at a special rate for subscribers only - not available
to the general public (although subscribers may buy extras for your friends!) A list
of "Current Extras" is revised every Sunday on the 'Subscriber' web
page - access provided to current subscribers.
