There must be a minimum of 30 shares sold for LFFC to secure MOMs as a drop-off location. If the minimum membership is not met, the CSA will be canceled.

Winter Vegetable Share ($250.00)

The Winter Vegetable Share includes 5 - 8 vegetable items per week. Through the cold, dark days of January and February our farmers are still working hard to harvest many root vegetables and other hearty veggies. As we move in to March and April micro-greens and other early spring veggies will begin to show up in the shares. This is a great way to keep organic, locally grown vegetables in your diet throughout Winter. Choose this option if you would like ONLY the winter veggies delivered to your location.
