• No pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used on any of our produce (or any of our land for that matter)
• We buy certified organic seed whenever available
• We maintain a sustainable growing cycle by making use of all the by-products of our farm (composted goat, chicken and duck manure as well as organic matter compost make great garden bed soil)
• We create raised garden beds wherever possible, so the soil can warm faster in the early spring – allowing us to start our growing season a bit earlier than a conventionally grown garden.

 We value locally grown food, and want to share that food with our members. There is nothing better than the crunch of a freshly picked snow pea or cob of sweet corn. 

Here is a general idea of what you can expect in your Veggie Box - by season:

HOW IT WORKS

Step 1: Choose a veggie box size that will suit your family

Step 2: Pay easily and securely using ShopMidland/PayPal (pay by Dec 1 to lock in extra savings)

Step 3: Pick up (or have delivered) your weekly box of freshly picked, local veggies

**Did you know that when you purchase a veggie box, you are buying 25 weeks of fresh produce? **

Here is a sample of the workshops we will be offering in 2011: 

• cheesemaking
• rearing backyard chickens
• growing shiitake mushrooms

We also offer hands-on experiences: 

• garlic planting
• shiitake log inoculating
• harvest parties
