Share Size:
This year each share of the vegetable harvest will provide several pounds of produce per week. A
share should supplement the weekly needs of a family of two to four on a normal diet.  Some weeks
may have more produce because several crops may ripen simultaneously.

Harvest and Pick Up:
Harvest will occur throughout the week.  To ensure freshness for our shareholders, we will have
three pick-ups per week; one at Big Moon Farm on Monday and two off-farm locations on Tuesday in
 the Lexington area and Thursday in Irmo/Columbia area.  

The Unpredictable:
Even though crops are planned and planted to provide a variety of vegetables each week in ample
quantities, environmental variables out of our control may occur when growing crops that could
consequently result in more or less of a certain crop than was planned.

Surplus Offerings:
In the event that we have extra vegetables on a given week we will let you know in the event that you
want to purchase additional amounts to freeze, preserve/can, and/or share with family/friends.
