WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR SHARE
Share size recommendations are based on average produce consumption. Our shares are not meant to satisfy a full vegan/vegetarian diet for the recommended number of people. This list gives you a sense of what types of produce you’ll receive. Each week’s box of fresh produce is based on what is currently in season and how successful each crop has been. Because of this, you will not see every item every week.

NEW FOR 2025 SPECIALTY PRODUCE SHARE
This share is geared more for those who love to cook and are curious to try new or less common produce. This is smaller share of 3 items per week and makes a great addition to a full or half produce share, or can be purchased as a stand alone share. The items we will include in this share are the more unique and in demand products we grow. You can expect to see spinach, head lettuce, dandelion greens, bok choy, baby beets, asparagus and purslane in the early season. Mid season we will include currants, raspberries, radicchio, fennel, paste tomatoes, eggplant, shishito peppers, Italian cone peppers, specialty cucumbers, snow peas and other unique or popular items. Late season will have specialty radish, celery, pie pumpkins and fingerling potatoes. Like the other shares, what goes into this share each week will depend on availability and crop success. This share works the same as the others, pick up at the farm or Houghton location on Wednesdays for 16 weeks.
If you purchase this share ALONG with another produce share, you will have the option to make two payments to break up the cost. You also have the choice to just choose this share as a stand alone product.

CSA AGREEMENT-ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ
By purchasing a share with us you automatically agree to our CSA policy. Community supported agriculture is made up of people who have purchased a share from a local farm early in the season. By purchasing a share with us early in the season you are providing us with the capital to buy seeds, fertilizer, tools, row cover, irrigation and other supplies needed to run a successful farm and have a productive growing season.
A CSA is an excellent way for community members to become personally involved and invested in their local farm and food systems. We strive to meet our goals for crop variety and quantity, but many factors are out of our control and as a CSA member you share in the abundance and failure of crops. Some weeks may be lighter then hoped for but that is a risk the member agrees to take. Refunds will not be given for any reason. Together, we share in the excitement of growing in the Keweenaw.
From mid June through mid October (16 weeks), a weekly produce share is provided to you for pick up. The produce in the share depends on what is in season that week. We grow, maintain, harvest and package your share for you, and deliver it to a drop point in Houghton or you can pick up from the farm. Once the share is ready it is your responsibility to pick it up in a timely fashion. If you are unable to pick your share up it is your responsibility to have someone collect it for you or to let us know you won’t be able to get it that week. If you will be out of town, please let us know a week in advance and your options will be to either cancel your share for that week or organize another person to pick up your share. If someone else is going to pick your share up for you, it is your responsibility to make sure they know the correct location and time for pick up. Please make sure they know the exact name to look for on the share. We do not make up missed shares and forgotten shares will not be replaced. As a new member you agree to the $25.00 new membership fee.
It is your responsibility to keep the boxes provided for you in good, clean order and to bring the empty box back to the drop point when you pick up your new share. You can also bring your own box with you to the drop point, transfer the goods and leave our box behind. Please keep in mind the Houghton drop point is not refrigerated. The sooner you can get your share home the better. Please keep in mind we do NOT wash the produce for you. We do rinse some soil off, but it is your responsibility to thoroughly wash all produce before consumption. To keep costs down we bag as little as possible and often put multiple things in one bag or have items loose in the box. It is a good practice to take everything out of the bag/box when you bring it home, rinse and dry the produce then store as you desire.
We do not use chemical insecticides so you will find a few bugs from time to time. We do try our best to keep this to a minimum, but they often hide in the nooks and crannies of lettuce, cabbage and other vegetables. A good way to check for bugs is to submerge produce in cool water for five minutes, shwoosh produce around in the water and then generally any insects will float to the surface.
