What is the PRODUCE PACK program?

A WEEKLY BOX OF SEASONAL PRODUCE

The weekly box of produce is designed to give families the opportunity to receive the best of what is currently in season at “the patch.” Based upon the concept of a CSA, families enroll in the program and fresh-picked produce is packaged for you on the farm and delivered to a convenient location near your home or workplace for 16 weeks during the months of May through mid-September. Produce Packs include produce that has been grown at “the patch,” as well as, top quality produce from other trusted local farms; therefore, you can be assured that your produce is homegrown!
