Optional Fruit Share Add-on for members– 14 weeks (not consecutive) =  $250
Two types of fruit each week, averaging 5-7 lbs./ week
Locally sourced fruit to the greatest extent possible.  Some local fruit may be organic, most will be eco-grown. This means organic methods are followed as much as possible, but some spray materials which are prohibited for organic production are used, primarily early in the season. It is very difficult to grow organic tree fruit on the east coast due to the high humidity (fungal diseases) and one particular pest (plum curculio). Eco-grown fruit is monitored and tested for pesticide residues. In the event of crop failures on local orchards we will source only organic fruit from non-local US sources (west coast- CA, WA) Fruit will likely include: blueberries, strawberries, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, pluots, hardy kiwi, apples and pears. There is no guarantee that all these items will be available in a given year. Shares which include higher value fruit- strawberries, blueberries, cherries and kiwi will have lower total weight. The fruit for the final 5 or 6 weeks of the season will be primarily different varieties of apples and pears.

Flower Share – 10 weeks =  $100

This year we will offer a flower share during a 10 week period, beginning in Mid-July and ending by late September. Varieties will include: Snapdragons, Lisianthus, Sunflowers, and mixed bouquets featuring Zinnias, Cosmos, Celosias and other beautiful blooms.

It has the flavor and texture of crab or lobster meat when cooked and is best known for its medicinal properties which have been shown to improve cognition and trigger NGF in the brain.
Blue oyster
Oyster mushrooms have a milder flavor and more tender consistency than Shiitake Mushrooms but they do hold their own. With a sweet woodsy taste, Oyster mushrooms are also quite versatile and substitute well into many mushroom recipes.
Black trumpets
smoky, rich flavor and a pleasant, fruity aroma.
Pioppinos
delicious sweet and nutty flavor.
Shitakes
rich and meaty in flavor, and when cooked, have a buttery texture and flavor.
Yellow oysters
Some people describe the taste of yellow oysters as being sweet with a mild citrus, cinnamon-like flavor, but many others experience a subtle, nutty taste similar to cashews or almonds.
