Membership in Fair Shares is a commitment to the farmers so they can have the security of knowing what we ask them to grow will be sold. We're sharing their risk and their bounty, and we're encouraging more farmers to grow food (vegetables), instead of commodity (corn, soy).

Membership is on an annual basis because we commit to purchasing a guaranteed amount of product from each of our farmers, and would like to be able to pay them up front. Annual membership costs include 47 weekly shares of local food delivered to a convenient location near your work or home, plus tips and recipes, and access to a wealth of information on our website.

We do not offer vegetarian, half or otherwise customized shares at this time. 

*Note--prices listed below do not include sales tax rate change to 5.141% on July 1st. Sales tax is calculated per weekly delivery, so a final adjustment at the end of the season will be sent to cover any unpaid tax. 

- One-time payment: $2459.06 ($50 per weekly share + 4.641% sales tax x 47 weeks), due now.
