June 6 thru October 8 with no distribution the week of July 4. 17 weeks of fresh picked vegetables and 5 Convenient pickup locations.

Enjoy 6-10 items per week depending on season. Cool weather brings the tender crops with limited harvest like asparagus, bunching onions, lettuces, tender greens, radish and herbs. Hotter weather brings the larger harvest of a wide variety of crops like corn, cucumbers, eggplant, beans, peppers, potatoes, summer squash, tomato, root crops, cole crops and leafy greens. We also have delicious heirloom veggies like cherry tomatoes, red noodle beans, purple beans, okra and aubergine.

Seasonal recipes, care instructions and ideas are available each week.

A signed produce subscription form must be on file for allottments to be distributed.

We purchase produce from local growers to supplement a crop if yields are limited on our farm. We also work with local growers for items we do not produce to off wider variety of items. Such as apples, apple cider, garlic, dried beans, flour, Indiana syrup and eggs.
