Fruit shares are sold out for 2010
Sorry, please sign up early next year
2010 Fruit Shares (20 weeks) – $140.00
Fruits will start during the first or second week of the vegetable season. Fruit is IPM, not organic.
The fruit share should include some of our own organic berries in 2010. Here’s what was new in 2009: We will be adding melons grown at the Moses Farm to the list of items included in the fruit share this year. (We will be growing our own melons this year, but our hope is to make them available to everyone as a part of the vegetable share.) Locally grown organic berries have proven impossible for us to source in adequate quantities or at reasonable prices. So, we are planting our own berries this year. So far, we have ordered 500 blueberry plants, 100 gooseberries, 1000 red raspberries, 500 black raspberries and 200 each of yellow and purple raspberries. The raspberries should begin to bear in 2010, and come in well in 2011; the blueberries will start in 3 to 5 years. We are finalizing plans for a strawberry planting and a small table grape vineyard, too. The strawberries will bear fruit this year; and the grapes will start in 3 to 5 years. All these purchases, too, are being made among local suppliers.
