Introducing the Nalls Neighborhood Crop Share
With the Nalls Crop Share you pay in advance for a weekly pick up of approximately 1/2 bushel of hand selected seasonal fruits and vegetables, tips and recipes. The portions are generally enough for a family of four's veggie sides and some snacks for the week. We have also introduced a "Small Share" which is more suitable for households of two as it is a peck of produce. We source our produce locally, although in the fall and winter, the produce might come from a little farther away than our standard "local" definition; rest assured that the produce will originate in the United States, and we will stick to farmers we know, from the east coast.
Our Winter Crop Share is running from November 4th, to December 16th, skipping the week of Thanksgiving, a total of six pickups on Friday after 1 pm or all day Saturday, the the price for all 6 weeks is a total of $180 for a full size share or $120 for a Small Share. If you would like to Crop Share for 3 weeks only, you can choose the first or last 3 weeks, for $100 for a full size share or $70 for a small share.
We are currently accepting registration for a 3 week Winter Crop Share. Please contact cropshare@nallsproduce.com.
A sample week of pickup with the winter share might be similar to the following: Butternut Squash, Citrus Fruits, Cabbage, Fresh Herbs, Collard Greens, Turnips, Baking Apples, Green Peppers, Apple Cider and Bosc Pears.
If you are wondering why you just wouldn't stop by and pick out your own produce here are a couple seasons why.
First, the conveinence is outstanding! Just stop by after work, give your name to a cashier and they will go get your box for you-in and out in 10 minutes or less with a whole week's worth of produce, and you know the quality will be great without having to pick it all out yourself.
Second, the fun! Our test group consistently compared their pickup to Christmas morning! They loved the surprise and have been trying new produce items that they normally wouldn't try, many families told us they are now eating a healthier and more diverse diet thanks to the crop share. And everyone is loving the search for new recipes! We provide you with a few, but I've heard lots of people share how fun it is to look for new recipes to add to their collection.
Here is some feedback from our current Crop Share members:
" I loved it! This is my first week in the program. It felt like Christmas. I'm starting to think maybe I should have ordered two share, not one! (We love to cook.)"
" In a word... awesome! Was happier with the selection- and quality- of the fruits and veggies we received this week. Kepp the peppers and peaches coming for as long as possible! And the sweet potatoes were scrumptious!!"
" Loved it again! Our two favorite things were the sweet potatoes and the peaches. I just love the variety and being able to figure out what is use in what recipe! We made a fantastic peach cake that got rave reviews!"
" Once again- WOW. I'm very impressed and have told friends about it for next year."
" Good and interesting selection as always. This is such fun... and always a surprise. I continue to "up" my cooking skills and variety with the new weekly additions"
" This has been a wonderful pilot project. I am so sorry this coming week is the last one for the summer. I hope you will be able to keep this going through the Fall and Winter. Count me in, please!"
