An annual FDC membership ($55) is valid for a full season, January through December.
In addition to fruit and organic vegetables, we offer optional add-on shares including Organic Mushrooms, Organic Flowers, Pastured Eggs, Local Bread, Cheese & Pasta, and a special Cook’s Collection. Members also receive reduced prices in our onlines stores for bulk & special orders of local produce and products.

Choose A Share(S)
We offer two sizes of fruit and organic vegetable shares, along with six add-on shares. Members can choose from the offerings à la carte – nothing is required. Please use this link for a full listing of offerings and prices.
Select Share Sizes
Small shares work great for 1-2 adults. Large shares are best for larger households, or small ones that love to cook! We know appetites vary, so we let you change share size even after the season begins. Note: fruit & veg shares always start small in the early season, but increase in size as the season progresses.
