A guide to understanding the market garden:
Attempting to nurture a relationship between farmer and consumer, the market garden perhaps most clearly demonstrates such an endeavor. In return for fruits and vegetables that are locally and organically grown by the farmer, the consumer offers to take on some of the risk of the artisan craft of raising a garden. The consumer is asked to buy a share of the produce grown in the market garden at a set price, prior to the start of the season.
What does a share entail?
There are various ways to become involved in the market garden.
You can:
Purchase a whole season share which means you will receive a basket--averaging around 6+ items-- per week from approximately early June to early October (five months).
Purchase a half season share(first half or second half of season) which means you will receive a basket-averaging around 6+ items--per week for half the season; approximately 2 1/2 months.
Purchase a bi-weekly share which means you will receive a basket averaging around 6+ items every other week for the duration of the season.
Because of the nature of the market garden, Spring produce will differ in substance and size from Summer and Autumn produce.
Each share is enough to supply three to four people with produce.
