What's in our baskets?We grow a great variety of fruits and vegetables using sustainable farming methods. What ultimately goes into each basket depends, of course, upon the weather and the harvest.

We send out a weekly newsletter detailing what you’ll find in the baskets, along with some yummy recipe suggestions.
