HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Bags will be packed as soon in July as Mother Nature provides some fresh vegetables. Share holders receive a weekly email with a list of what's in the box, any other pertinent info and some recipes. The shares will be available for pickup at KMART's north parking lot in conjunction with Bismarck Farmers Market. We are still on hold with KMART's lease holder and if anything changes we will let you know. Please free free to ask questions. Some of the information provided on your square invoice is inaccurate due to operator error. Sorry about that. 
Each share includes a weekly newsletter with “what’s in your bag” and recipes, tips or hints for enjoying your produce. This reminder will also keep you posted on what’s happening on our farms and a reminder to pick up your share.
SHARE DETAILS
For 12 to 14 weeks, you will receive a colorful bag with seasonal produce beginning in mid-July and running through mid-October, weather permitting. The veggies in the bag vary weekly depending on Mother Nature.

Weekly shares MUST be picked up Thursdays in the north parking lot of the Bismarck’s K-mart (This is subject to change based on K-mart’s closing.)

$275 Half-share: Plenty of fresh vegetables for two to three people at less than $20 a week.
​
$495 Full-share: Twice the amount of fresh veggies found in a half share. This bag feeds a family of four to five; or you and several friends. 

Both shares include fresh home-baked bread (half loaf for half shares and full loaf for full shares) every other week alternating with canned goods of our choice.

A weekly newsletter will be sent on Wednesdays so PLEASE print your email address carefully on the contract.
