What's in the Share in 2023
Share Size
The Farm Share will have 4 - 5 vegetables in the bag in each: in the spring and early summer, the bags will be lighter with 4 vegetables like lettuce, radishes, and greens. In the summer and fall, the share will be heavier with 5 vegetables like cucumbers, eggplant, potatoes and squash. It's probably not enough to feed a family (or a vegetable-loving individual) for a week, but it's a great way to get some nice, chemical-free vegetables into your refrigerator.
Share Contents
Our Farm Share, like many others, offers fresh vegetables when they are in season. We'll give you snap peas in the spring, tomatoes in August, rutabaga in the fall. Some vegetables will make very frequent appearances in the share. Fruiting vegetables like tomatoes and zucchini are usually very productive and we'll have a lot to share with you. We'll do our best not to overload you (you won't get a bag of cucumbers, we promise!), but in late July, August, and early September, you can expect to see a couple of zucchinis and few cucumbers, a half pound of green beans, and 3 or 4 tomatoes in your share every week. In the spring and fall, you can also expect to see a lot of radishes and lettuce, and you'll probably see some type of onion every other week. Also, greens like kale, chard, and spinach and specialty greens like broccoli raab and mustard greens will make regular appearances in the share — we can sometimes gauge whether or not someone will like the share based on how comfortable they are cooking with greens!

The seed list is variable: we might add a crop or two, and some crops might fail. But here is our best guess for the vegetables you might see in your share this year, along with their availability.
