How the farm share works  
With a Seven Meadows Farm share, you experience all of the seasons on the farm. Beginning June 21, each change of seasons brings you a new box of farm products. We encourage openness and communication with our shareholders through the farm cam, the members blog, newsletter and farm visits. We are taking subscriptions until March 21, 2010. 
● A full share is for two years, and the cost per share is $1,200. 
● A one-half share is available for $650 for summer 2010 - spring 2011. 
● A 5% discount applies if paid by February 21. 
● A 5% discount applies to the vegetarian option, as there are no shipping costs. 
● Credit cards are accepted. 
● If a farm share is not your thing, also available is a “Friend of the Farm” membership: for $50 you receive four season’s worth of access to our farm cam, blog and newsletters, recipes, and our annual calendar.

Due to it’s perishable nature, we cannot ship the vegetarian farm share. Quarterly boxes are to be picked up at The Farm bistro in Cortez, or at Seven Meadows Farm. Boxes that are not picked up will be donated to a local food bank.

What you’ll get, when you’ll get it  
The contents of your box will vary a lot from season to season. In addition to the non-perishable items, each quarter will bring you a generous but manageable amount of greens and other perishable items that require refrigeration and have a shelf life of 2-3 weeks. Root crops and winter squash will store up to three months. Mother nature calls the shots, and your box will reflect the season’s weather and resulting available produce. Here’s a general idea of what to expect:
