Weekly/Individual Farm Pickup -- $475
This is the basic option for shareholders. When you arrive, your
vegetables are laid out for you in baskets and bins, along with signs
to indicate what and how much to take. Please bring your own bags.
Join a Pickup Group -- $475
We help form neighborhood co-ops for shareholders who want to come to
the farm occasionally, but don.t want to drive to the farm every
week. As a member of a pickup group your experience is very much like
that of the weekly/individual farm pickup except that you are picking
up less often and spending more time boxing up shares when it is your
turn.
A member of a pickup group with 6 members would only have to travel
to the farm once every 6 weeks to box and pick up shares for 6
families and then drop those shares at the group's designated drop off
site.
Pickup groups are currently available in Portland, South Portland,
Biddeford/Saco, Kennebunk, South Berwick, Kittery/Portsmouth, and
York. New groups can be formed wherever there is enough
interest, and we encourage workplace pick up groups to develop as well.
For more details check out our Pickup Group Page .
Join the Portland Delivery Group -- $525
If you opt for the delivery, a boxed share including
a share contents list and newsletter will be delivered each Wednesday to the Taylor St. Park
in the West End. You must be
available to pickup your share anytime between
3:30 and 6:30 p.m. or send someone else to pickup
your share each week. You are responsible for
transferring the share from the farm's box into your
own bags. The extra cost covers the farm's
packing and delivery expenses. If you opt for the
Portland Delivery you are encouraged to participate
in shareholder events or to visit the farm on your
own during Tuesday or Friday distribution times.
