West Harlem CSA 2012 Extra Share information

We are pleased to offer an optional fruit, flower, and egg shares at an additional fee to your regular vegetable shares!

Fruit Share: Pick up the best of Washington County’s seasonal fruit each week for 20 weeks. Ted, the farmer at Windflower Farm, does not grow his own fruit on site, instead he shops neighboring farms to bring you the highest quality, lowest spray, variety of seasonal fruits available in Washington County.  It costs $144 for 20 weeks of delicious fresh fruit.  Last year a weekly fruit share included: a quart of strawberries and a small bunch of rhubarb, 2 or 3 pounds of apples or pears, a pound or two of plums, apricots, and nectarines.

Flower Share: Decorate your table with weekly organic blooms from Windflower Farms!  A flower share costs $124 for 10 weeks of beautiful organic flower bouquets grown with love and care by Ted’s wife from the gardens of Windflower Farm.

Egg Share:  Elihu Farm is once again offering farm fresh pastured eggs! Enjoy 22 weeks of golden yoked, fresh fresh, minimally washed with no chlorine eggs from the happy healthy hens at Elihu Farms. Pick up the tastiest pastured eggs money can buy every week for the entire 22 weeks of the CSA season. A single, 22-week share costs $120. Double and triple shares cost a little less and half dozen per week end up costing a little bit more. Shares arrive weekly to your CSA site with your vegetables for full 22-week season. Eggs are fresh, minimally washed with no chlorine. [Egg Shares are sold out for the 2012 season!]

Please note that fruit and flowers arrive weekly, that means each and every week, so if you are receiving a half share of vegetables, that means although your vegetables arrive every other week you will still need to pick up your fruit/flowers every week. We also recommend finding another West Harlem CSA member to share fruit, flowers, and eggs with to ensure that you are on opposite weeks, please partner up with someone that has a last name at the other end of the alphabet!  Additionally you can email Megan the extra shares coordinator to ensure you and the members you are sharing these extra goodies with are on opposite pick-up weeks!

Fruit Share:  20 week of low spray fruit for $144.
Flower Share: 10 weeks of organic bouquets for $124
Egg Share: 22 weeks of farm fresh pastured eggs!
1 dozen eggs each week for $120
2 dozen eggs each week for $240
½ dozen eggs each week for $62
