Produce is picked up each Wednesday from 5pm-7pm at either:

What happens if I’m out of town on pick-up day?
We suggest that you have a friend or neighbor pick up your share. If no one can pick up your share, we will take it to our local food kitchen ( Manna Soup Kitchen in Durango).

Can I pick which items I receive?
No. Your share is a balanced mix of what the farm is harvesting that week. We grow everything in its season and pick it at it’s best. Our members are given the opportunity of being surprised each week, and to enjoy things they wouldn’t otherwise have tried. Our pick-up site will have a “trade box” where one member can leave an item and another can pick up double of one of their favorites. There will be several items in the trade box to choose from.

Can members visit the farm?
Yes! We will have several opportunities for members to visit the farm, as well as gain some hands on experience in the fields if they would like to. These dates will be mentioned in your weekly newsletter. We also give tours to the public. We love having visitors, but must balance tours with a very busy work day. Please contact us if you are interested in visiting.
