Pricing and other specifics

Our standard produce box costs $20 (usually retails at $27) and includes 6 to 8 varieties of fruit and vegetables. The produce included is intended to meet the needs of 2 to 3 people.

You can include the following add-ons in your boxes:

  • Fruit boost — $10 (normally $13); additional fruit
  • Bread share — $7 (normally $9); a loaf of fresh-baked bread
  • Eggs — $4.50 (normally $6); a dozen pasture-raised eggs
  • Yogurt — $5.75 (normally $7.75); a quart of locally-made yogurt

You will have the opportunity to set the parameters for the boxes for your customers. For instance, are there items you would never like us to include? How much fruit do you want? Any items you would like every week?

Order minimum flexibility. It's OK to start small. We aim to have a minimum of 50 boxes/delivery; however, if you’re having trouble finding 50 customers to start with, we’re happy to work something out while you build interest.
