Value: $10/week

INFORMATION ABOUT THE FRUIT SHARE

Briermere Farms, located in nearby Riverhead NY, provides fresh local fruit for our fruit share. The farm is not certified organic, however they certainly aim for as little conventional spray as possible given the wet climate of NY. Many organic practices are integrated into the growing program and they produce their own compost as well.

The share has been downsized this season to only 1 bag/box/item per week. The cost is also significantly reduced. Please read through the share contents below CAREFULLY so you understand what fruit CAN grow on Long Island and that week to week you will be getting similar things depending on the time of year. If you do not LOVE apples, we suggest you do not participate in the share as the last month or two is primarily filled with apples.

It is an 18 week share beginning July 11 and ending November 8. There is the possibility that the share will begin sooner, depending on the weather and the timing of the ripening of the fruit. We will contact you if there is any change of starting date.

*You must be a vegetable share member to participate.
