Summer CSA Shares: - Picked fresh from our fields.  28 weeks of local, certified organic produce.

Schedule.  The first distribution for State College, Burnham, and Mifflintown members is May 18, 2010.  The last distribution is November 23, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.  Selinsgrove distribution will be on the Thursday or Friday before each of these dates (exact time and location is still to be determined). 

Egg Share:  $84, pasture raised eggs biweekly.  Taste the difference of an egg from a hen that is out on pasture.  The laying hens are kept on pasture as the outdoor conditions allow.  During the coldest months (Jan - Feb) they are moved into the east end of the barn.  During the winter, their feed is supplemented with leftover greens, including weeds, from the greenhouses.

Winter Share '10 - '11: 12 distributions: November 2010 through May 2011.  Signup begins on August 15, 2010.

Share Size & Splitting:  We offer only one share size, though you may split a share with another party each week, or each of you picking up on alternate distributions.  More of our members tend to split the summer than the winter share.  Please note that the responsibility of managing the split shares lies with the persons splitting, not the farm.  We also appreciate a single person to be the payer to simplify our bookkeeping.  On the "Member Signup" page you will have the option of entering an additional 2 parties that you may be splitting with.  Entering their information there will join them to our mailing list and assign them as "splitting" with you.  Please note the first name entered should be the primary user.  If you cannot find a share partner, please contact the farm.
