harvest share

Our harvest shares are a partnership between farmers and eaters that begins long before the first flower blooms or vegetable ripens.  When you join our farm for the year and begin to pay for your harvest share we use your membership dollars to buy seeds, seed starting supplies, compost, tools, and more.  Then during late winter we begin to start seedlings & sow seeds that will become the vegetables and flowers of this year's farm. Your harvest share membership is an investment in our farm and allows us to buy what we need to grow the healthiest, highest quality produce, flowers, and eggs.

Each year on a farm some things will do better than others.  If a hailstorm or a pest damages the leafy greens then you might not have them in your share that week.  But if we have an amazing crop of tomatoes or peppers then you'll be taking home the surplus.  The harvest share is our primary customer and what we grow is yours!  2025 will be our twelfth year offering a harvest share and our track record of growing a wide variety of vegetables means your weekly harvest share will be diverse and bountiful.

Our harvest share partnership is the backbone of our farm and we consider all of our members part of the farm family.  We look forward to spending the growing season with you and we’re honored to help feed your families.  Thanks to all of you who have helped us live our farming dream.

Our aim is to provide our community with the highest quality, local, organic vegetables, fruits, and eggs.  We also bake some amazing bread and have some seriously fun farm member activities.  By joining our farm this year as a harvest share member you’ll receive 16 weekly boxes of the freshest, best tasting, organically grown, local produce for you and your family.  Each week we will have a diverse mix of seasonal vegetables, herbs, salad greens, and some fruit from our farm.  In terms of quantity each week you can expect to fill a paper grocery bag during the peak summer and fall weeks, and a little less in early summer.  Everything is grown here at our farm in Wheat Ridge and we grow everything naturally, organically, and free of pesticides, gmo’s and harmful additives.

In addition to all of these amazing crops as a harvest share member you’ll receive the following:

  • A dozen organic, free range chicken eggs once a month

  • One loaf a month of the Denver County Fair blue ribbon Roost Farms multi-grain bread

  • Beginning mid-summer Flower arrangements every week

  • Recipes & other ideas how to use your harvest share each week
