I joined last year and loved all the fresh fruit and vegetables. Adding eggs is an option too. Most Farm Shares only provide vegetables OR fruit, but this is one of the few that does both depending on the season. Much of their stuff is organic and the farm is one of the big players in the Morristown farmers market.

Alstede Farm are true pros and dealt with the hurricane and tropical storm Lee with only a slight drop is size and quality last year. They are very well run too with a newsletter that comes with your share each week telling you what is in your box and helps identify what you have received along with recipes on how to cook it. - Shaun Williams

Shares must be paid for up front. Your commitment provides the farm with a secure market all their efforts and the farm, in turn, commits to providing an abundant, diverse and quality array of vegetables and fruit. The worth of a share is linked not only with the value you place upon eating fresh, locally grown food, knowing who grows your food,but also the sustainable and organic methods of food production,keeping our local economy robust and your own eating habits and lifestyle.

Shares are available in Full, Half, and Personal sizes:

• A Full Share includes a larger portion of produce as well as the most diversity; ideal for a family or a couple that truly enjoys vegetables! Your membership entitles you to approximately 30 lbs of produce each week for about $42 per week*.
• Half Shares are ideal for beginners or smaller households and contains a variety of seasonal produce with less quantity (approximately 15 lbs) and variety than the Full Share for about $23 per week*
• A Personal Share is perfect for a single person or a couple on the go who still want to enjoy the weekly, fresh vegetables at home, but not too much. The variety and quantity is less than a half share, but will contain 5-8 items for about $19 per week*
