FAQ

  • What if I can’t make it to pick up my share one week? ➢ You can have someone pick it up for you. Just call/text the farm number - 540.315-3757 and let us know who is picking it up for you. Or we can leave it in the community fridge and give you the code for pick up at your convenience.

  • Is your produce organic? ➢ We grow using no chemical herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. While our farm is not certified organic, rest assured the produce we provide is healthful and free of any dangerous chemical inputs.

  • What if there’s something I don’t like to eat in my share? ➢ When you come and pick up your share you can leave behind anything you don’t like. Unfortunately we can not make substitutions. We are happy to give ideas for different ways to prepare produce. We aim to provide as much variety as possible so if there is something you aren’t fond of it will likely be replaced in a couple weeks as the seasons change and we harvest new produce.

  • What kind of foods will be in the weekly share? ➢ We grow over 40 varieties of vegetables! Expect a lot of leafy greens and salad stuff, as well as root vegetables, and some fruit as we are able. Some of our popular items at the market are: collard greens, radishes, strawberries, okra, carrots, and our signature salad mix.

  • How much food is in a weekly share? ➢ $20 worth of fresh produce: typically 4 - 6 different items.

  • Can you accept SNAP as payment? ➢ Yes! Shares purchased with SNAP are charged $10 weekly.

  • Can I cancel my membership in the middle of the season? ➢ You can cancel but we can not offer refunds. If you are unable to continue collecting your share we encourage you to pass your membership on to someone who could benefit.
