At the end of each distribution all shares remaining will immediately be donated to a local food bank

The share will vary depending on the harvest available on any given day

The CSA is a joint venture between you and the farmer.

The risk is shared among us all.

My goal is to make every year a great year.

We work tirelessly to insure a crop that you will enjoy feeding your family

And one that is abundant with fresh vegetables and fruit

You will receive recipes for the various items in your bag

And a list of each item and quantity receive

Volunteering

We strongly encourage volunteering

It is no required by our CSA

Opportunities to Volunteer

At the distribution sites

We will ask members to “sign-up” to man the distribution site once during the season

Harvest & Packing

Each day of distribution we will harvest in the morning and welcome all helping hands at the Orchard

What about that “Fruit Only Share”?

This year we are offering this share in partnership with

Seaberry Farm of Caroline County

And

First Fruits Orchard of Caroline County

And

Boyle Bee Farm

Between the four of us we offer:

Peaches, Apples, Blueberries, Blackberries, Grapes, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Gourmet Melons, Honey, and Preserves made from these fruits

Farming Practices

Our goal is to keep our orchard as “clean” as possible

To that end, we us Integrated Pest Management

WE ARE NOT AN ORGANIC ORCHARD

Just in case you were wondering

Our family eats the fresh vegetables and fruit we produce here, so we have the same concerns for our safety as you have for your family

We hand-pick every piece of fruit and every vegetable that we bring to you

Please join us as we start our second year of CSA.
