Program Information

HARVESTING BEGINS in mid-June. There are 21 weekly deliveries scheduled throughout the season which continue until the end of November. Each delivery you’ll receive a box filled with a variety of freshly picked vegetables. The box typically is packed with enough food to suit an average household of two to four people for the week. The early deliveries in the year are typically lighter in weight and volume with the amounts and selection of produce increasing as the season progresses. Occasionally the selection, the amount, or availability time for certain crops will be affected by unpredictable weather. Approximate harvest times of the different vegetables and herbs are shown on the "Produce Selection" page.

VEGETABLES, and Eggs are delivered each Thursday to convenient locations from Sheboygan to Milwaukee. It’s the responsibility of each member to come and pick up their box on the scheduled delivery day.

Addresses of all pick up locations are included with a confirmation letter you’ll receive when you sign up. New sites may be added if there is the need. Available pick up sites are currently in the following communities:

EGGS

Eggs can be purchased for either weekly or bi-weekly deliveries along with the vegetables. Our laying hens are fed non-GMO grains, with no antibiotics or growth hormones. They have access to the outdoors where they roam and forage for their own natural foods while enjoying fresh air and sunshine.

SOCIAL EVENTS

Social events are held at different times during the season as a way to experience the farm, and to have fun interacting with other members.

A salsa making party is held in August when all the ingredients for salsa are available fresh from the field.

A fall harvest festival in October is held each year to celebrate the seasons bounty. A potluck supper along with pumpkin carving is followed up in the evening with a great bonfire.
