WHY WEEKLY? We prioritize the customer’s needs. Although some farms rely on monthly memberships, we will focus on a weekly model in which customers can pay week by week and fully customize each box based on the size they select. Our customer base is unique in that many may not live in the area full time; we aim to offer a convenient, weekly, customizable box best fit our customer’s needs.
WHY SHARES? Rather than having a model based on total number of vegetables per box, a share system takes into consideration that different produce has different values. easily add up their totals for the week and accommodates . Each produce will have a value of 1 through 3 associated with it depending on the value of the produce; this also allows our customers to easily add up their totals onsite when selecting produce for their boxes. Our prices and the amount of shares have been carefully calculated to ensure that prices are comparable (if not lower) than local market prices.
