The vegetables you receive each week will
vary depending on what is in season.
In a typical year, expect an average
of ten pounds of produce a week, usually
enough to feed four non-vegetarians or
two vegetarians. Eating in season in the
Northeast, one learns to enjoy what each
season has to offer. The spring is a great
season for salads, cooked greens, and fresh peas.
The summer is full of everyone's
favorites: tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers
and melons. The fall is a wonderful time
for hearty soups and roasted vegetables
made
from various roots, winter squash, and potatoes.
See our Vegetable Seasonality Chart for
more information about when different vegetables
are likely to be available. 
In addition to a financial commitment,
each harvest membership includes
a commitment to twelve hours
in the fields over the course of the season.
We have alternate work opportunities for
those who are unable to do physically demanding
work. A nonworking membership
is also available.
