Farm Patron Program Features

 

Save on your organic produce purchases all year by participating in our Farm Patron Program.  By prepaying at one of the available Patron levels, you will receive a credit, as well as the applicable discount, for that amount of produce when you pick it up at our Farm Store.

 

Choose the vegetables you like

to eat from the broad selection of crops which we grow, which includes all on the adjacent list.

 

Select the amount you want.

You can pick the amount of vegetables you receive according to your needs for any given day, week, and season.  There is no fixed weekly portion size.  Your discount is also good for all bulk quantities, except full bushel.

 

Pick up on your schedule.

You can get produce any time our farm store is open- Tuesday thru Sunday, 10-6, June thru November.  If you need something more, you can come back any other day, and there is no penalty for missing any given week.

 

No due date for joining.

Begin getting your chosen discount immediately upon becoming a Farm Patron.  There is never a waiting list.

Questions & Answers

 

Question:  Does the amount I prepay only get me the discount indicated?

Answer:  The amount a Farm Patron prepays is not a "membership fee."  The customer will receive back, for example, $322.50 in produce when they prepay at the $300 level (this reflects the 7% discount.)

 

Question:  What bulk quantities are available?

Answer:  Besides consumer sizes (bunch, pint, quart,) we offer most produce by the ½ peck, peck, ½ bushel, and bushel.  There are four quarts in a ½ peck, and two pecks in a half bushel.  However, bushel quantities are not eligible for your Farm Patron discount, as they are already priced at our best wholesale price.

 

Question:  Will I have to pay full price after I use my full Farm Patron balance?

Answer:  Your discount will continue on subsequent purchases after your balance is fully used.

 

Question:  What happens if I don’t use up my full Patron amount by the end of November?

Answer:  Unless prior arrangements are made, we will donate any unused balance to a local soup kitchen.  In the event we have sufficient storage crops to continue selling into the winter, we may remain open on a more limited basis after November.  Towards the end of the season, we will keep Farm Patrons apprised of their unused balance and any plans we have for extended season sales when they come in to our farm store.  Unused balances will not be refunded.
