HELP ON THE FARM
If you are willing to help on the farm (we highly encourage that) we are willing to work on reduced share pricing or credit toward other incentives. We are always looking for people who enjoy planting, weeding, harvesting, cleaning, prepping and the list goes on.  Your enthusiasm is graciously welcomed. 



CANNING/PRESERVING
We can accommodate canning and preserving needs if we know what you are interested in by May 1, 2011. This is to ensure we can actually provide the produce you are looking for and to secure the seed quantities we need based on your canning/preserving requirements. For example - tomatoes, beets, green beans.  Prices to be determined in season.

SPECIAL EVENTS
If any member has a special event during the season - we will work with you on providing additional produce, herbs, or flowers. We can also assist in locating naturally grown meat - lamb, pork, beef, or chickens and we can assist in locating naturally produced cheeses, naturally grown fruits, and baked goods.
