THE FOOD

Vegetables
The vegetable share runs from June to Thanksgiving for 24 weeks.  It includes enough vegetables for two large vegetarian meals per week or side dishes for the whole week.  Vegetables include but are definitely not limited to heirloom tomatoes, mesclun salad mix, zucchini, baby corn, summer squash, cucumbers, lettuces, beets, carrots, pumpkins, gourds, and winter squash.  You can view a harvest schedule on the Garden of Eve website to learn more about what types of vegetables are available during the season.

Fruit
The fruit share runs from June to Thanksgiving for 24 weeks. The season starts in June with strawberries, then follows with cherries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, apricots, plums and pears in July and August. September through November bring mainly pears and apples. Fruits are very fresh and flavorful, and though not certified organic, they are grown on the farm next door to Garden of Eve using similarly conscientious methods; lots of compost and low-spray techniques.

Eggs
The egg share runs from June to Thanksgiving for 24 weeks.  Members can choose to purchase a weekly egg share, which consists of a half-dozen eggs each week, or a biweekly share, which consists of a half-dozen eggs every two weeks. Additional egg shares can be added in 1/2 dozen increments. Eggs come from Garden of Eve's own pastured, free-range hens, which are fed no hormones or antibiotics.

Flowers & Sunflowers
The flower share runs from June to Halloween, for 20 weeks, and consists of a gorgeous bouquet or potted variety of organically-grown fresh flowers. Enjoy a different variety every week! Includes zinnias, snapdragons, sunflowers, gladiolas, black-eyed susans and much more. The sunflower share runs for 10 weeks (10 pickups for weekly shares, 5 for biweekly).

Additional Options -- beer share new for 2017!
Sweet Pea CSA also offers shares of bread, meat, cheese, and beer.

Types of Shares
CSA members can choose to purchase a full (weekly) share or a half (biweekly) share of vegetables, fruit, eggs and flowers. A variety of options and combinations are available to customize your share.

All members must purchase a share (weekly or biweekly) of vegetables in order to participate in the CSA (for example, you couldn't only choose a fruit share). If you choose a half share, you will be notified whether you are to pick up on "A" weeks or "B" weeks.

Meat and beer shares are distributed monthly (6 distributions per season); cheese and bread are distributed biweekly (12 distributions per season). Flowers and sunflowers have shorter weekly/bi-weekly seasons.
