Why Join the Community Farm?
The Community Farm provides you with healthy, locally-grown produce. Every week, delicious vegetables and berries are harvested and delivered fresh to your neighborhood. In return, our farmers receive a fair economic return and respect for their skills. Membership supports land that is cared for using sustainable organic and biodynamic farming methods. Everyone is nourished by re-establishing the vital link in our community between food, farms, and families. As a Community Farm member, you also help support the production of healthy food grown at Winter Green Farm for families in need.
Throughout the season, we welcome you to visit “your” farm and get to know the land that sustains you and the people who grow your food. You can walk the farm, talk to farmers, and attend farm events. Members also receive weekly notes full of seasonal recipes and farm news.
The Harvest Shares Eating locally in Oregon means that the harvest reflects the seasons. The first few spring harvests are light and consist primarily of cool-weather crops. Summer harvests are substantial, bringing juicy warm-weather fruits and vegetables. The fall is marked by a great abundance and diversity of crops. In a typical season you can expect to receive more than the projected amounts of some crops and less than the projected amounts of others as a result of weather and other factors. Please see the “Projected Crops” list for quantities and seasonal availability of produce.
A Community Farm Harvest Share is a great value compared with the freshness and quality of purchasing seasonal organic produce from stores.
Standard Season Harvest Share — $525.00 - includes delivery fee (19 weeks, mid-June through mid-October)
Every week throughout the growing season we pack shares of the harvest for distribution to our members. A share feeds approximately two adults, or a small family, depending on individual eating habits. Many individuals choose to split a share with a friend. Standard Season Harvest Shares provide a large variety of traditional and specialty vegetables, as well as sun-ripened berries, and a jar of our own berry spread.
Late Season Harvest Share — $200.00 - includes delivery fee (5 additional weeks, mid-October through Thanksgiving)
The Late Season Harvest Share offers five weeks of our fresh, local, organic produce following the conclusion of the Standard Season. This Harvest Share provides members with seasonal fresh greens and roots as well as a generous supply of storage vegetables to eat during the winter.
Produce Delivery and Logistics
Every week you receive a box of produce from our farm. Between mid-June and mid-October, Standard Season shares are available for pick-up at a variety of convenient neighborhood sites throughout our delivery area. Five additional weeks of Late Season produce between mid-October and Thanksgiving will be available at a limited number of sites. All Late Season shares will be available for pick up at our Saturday Farmers Markets only. Please support us in our decision to consolidate deliveries in our efforts to reduce our environmental impact.
Pickup sites are self-service. Please select one of the convenient site locations listed on the membership form. The cost of delivery to your area is included in the share cost. View delivery days and sites.
We deliver harvest shares in reusable plastic boxes. Members are asked to bring their own containers, transfer their produce, and leave the cleaned boxes at the pickup site.
What Happens if I Go on Vacation?
We offer three options whenever you are unable to pick up your box: 1) Gift your box to a friend or neighbor and arrange for them to pick it up. 2) Donate your box (tax deductible) to FOOD for Lane County by calling the farm prior to delivery. 3) Receive credit that can be applied to next year’s Community Farm membership ($15 per box for Standard Season Shares, and $23 per box for Late Season Shares). Notification 24 hours prior to delivery is required to receive credit.
Can I Split A Share With Another Family?
Our shares will feed 2 adults or a small family (depending on individual eating habits). Click here to see what's in a typical box each month. Many individual members choose to find a friend or family member to share their produce with, either splitting the produce at the site each week, or alternating weekly pick ups. Feel free to work out arrangements to suit your needs.
Financial Assistance
One of our values at Winter Green Farm is to provide fresh organic produce to people of all income levels. Included in the Community Farm budget is a per share donation to help provide partial financial assistance scholarships to families who would not otherwise be able to afford membership. We offer a number of options for those needing financial assistance, including subsidization and a variety of payment plans. We also are approved to accept Food Stamps (SNAP). For more information, please contact the farm.
Education Program Educating people about where their food comes from, how it is grown, and the importance of eating locally are goals of the Community Farm. We have an ongoing education program that brings members of the community and local students from preschool through college to the farm for field trips. A small part of your harvest share subsidizes field trips. If you would like to make an additional donation to this program please include it with your payment.
FOOD for Lane County
Hunger is a problem in our community. It is all around us, it is far reaching, and it is complex. Hunger statistics in Oregon are dismal. Our community needs to respond to this crisis.
Beginning in 1996 Winter Green Community Farm joined with FOOD for Lane County, the local provider for our area’s food pantries and other emergency food providers, to provide Community Farm Harvest Shares to families in the Womenspace Transitional Program. This program was developed to help women and children who have left abusive relationships.
We also supply thousands of pounds of healthy produce for general distribution by FOOD for Lane County. Providing food for all members of our community will take all of us working together. Every donation, large or small, makes a difference. You can make that difference. Send a tax deductible donation along with your membership form to Winter Green Farm. Please make checks payable to FOOD for Lane County.
