Shares of the harvest

The basis of share membership is simple: you pay a monthly amount and receive a share of the harvest each week in your chosen share size (small, medium or large – see Prices for more information) on your chosen collection day.

We aim to provide organic produce shares for our members at least 50 weeks a year.  The growers harvest what is available using their carefully developed harvesting plan, and each member receives a share of this, according to the size of their produce share.

Examples of weekly shares in the different sizes throughout the year are below (please note that these are not definitive lists, but give you an idea of what you might expect based on our produce share records from 2023). The three share sizes generally consist of the same produce, just in different quantities.

You may notice a difference in the quantity of produce in your weekly share throughout the year.  For example, a produce share in August or September is going to be both larger and more diverse than a share in, say, May.  This is simply because there are times of the year where produce is more abundant due to the point in the growing season. In terms of the value of your produce, however, this should balance out over the year – where a share in May may well be worth less than the weekly share price, in August or September it could be worth almost double this.
