Harvest

Typical Harvest

Our members tell us that one share feeds, on average, two adults. In 2007, shares were an average of 7 pounds per week over 26 weeks. But no two years or weeks are alike, so we cannot predict exactly what you will receive each week for your share.

Here’s a sample of what your shares might include throughout the growing season:

• May-June: Salad greens, beets, turnips, radishes, broccoli, kohlrabi, collards, spinach, braising greens, and strawberries.
• July-Sept: Zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, hot and sweet peppers, basil, eggplants, okra, melons, sweet corn, cucumbers, potatoes, beans, and garlic.
• Sept.-Nov: Broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, butternut squash, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, salad greens, carrots, turnips, collards, chard, spinach, beets, and radishes.
