Ambrose Family Farm

Bruin and I heard about this opportunity last year to purchase a "share" of a local farm's anticipated crop. The produce is organically grown and picked the day before you get it. I was really curious about it and would have liked to do it but unfortunately, we heard about it a bit late so weren't able to participate. Well, this past week we heard they were accepting applications for their Spring/Summer harvest and after breaking down the cost and comparing it to what I normally spend, we decided to apply. (It ended up being about $20/week, which I easily spend at BiLo)

Basically, from the first week in April to the first week in July, we pick up a box of freshly picked, organic fruits and veggies every Thursday. The fruits/veggies vary each week so you get a good mix of things. I'm pretty excited about it for a number of reasons...it's going to help Bruin and I eat better... it'll increase the diversity of the fruits/veggies we eat... AND it supports our local farmers!

I think once we start the program, I'll take a picture of our box each week so you can see what we get. They also have a Fall Harvest program so if the Spring Harvest goes well, I think we might do that, too.
