2013 CSA Crop Shares online at: http://purplefroggardens.com/2013-16-Week-Crop-Share-CSA-2013CSA.htm

Purple Frog will offer only a very limited amount of Crop Shares for the 2013 seaon.  First come, first served. If you are feeling inspired, you may purchase a share for a hungry friend, or directly for the North Valley Food Bank.

Share will run from May 17th -August 30th  16 weeks  $350  (<$22/week)    Dates may change if the season is slow or fast to arrive. But mid May to end of August is about right.

Because our CSA boxes average out to just under $22 worth of produce a week, we do not offer ½ shares.  If you can’t eat $22 worth of produce week, we encourage you to:

*bring leftovers to the food bank

*just come to one of the farmers markets that we frequent &/or

*just come to Salad BarN, our on farm produce stand, on Friday nights, 5-7 to get just enough produce

For a typical listing of the shares check out the blog feed from the 2012 season found online at PurpleFrogGardens.org

But in short the shares will include: rhubarb, salad, lettuce, kale, chard, onions, cabbage, leeks, tomatoes, carrots, pak choi, green onions, garlic, beets, beet greens, raspberries, currants, oregano, thyme, chives and so forth. The season determines the produce of the week. Expect cold hardy varieties early and hot loving varieties later in the farming season.

We may venture into additional offerings such as local honey from the farm, or bread from a partner.   No guarantees yet, time will tell on this partnership.

Salad BarN will remain open until mid-October and we will do one fall harvest box available for purchase as a seperate add on item. 2013 Flower Shares are also back. See main menu for options.

Pickup is your responsibility from Purple Frog at our on-farm produce stand. The Salad BarN is open summer Fridays from 5 to 7 PM. Note time change.  If you make arrangements, we can leave your share in the shed for later that evening.  If you do not make arrangements, we will donate your share to avoid wasting food.

Any week that you cannot make it, let us know before hand and we will donate that weeks share to a person of your choice or to the North Valley Food Bank.

It is gearing up to be another fantastic season. We at Purple Frog are grateful for your support and excited to be trying some new varieties this season.  Thanks for supporting your local farmers right here in Whitefish.
