Have you heard about the Farm Table?

Read for info on a Trial Box of FRESH PRODUCE

April 8, 2011
We invite you to join us at The Farm Table!  This exciting new enterprise combines the best of the farm co-op (or CSA) and the farmers’ market, and brings it to your doorstep!  We are looking forward to providing the Richmond area with “food that’s good for you and the planet, from people you know.”

We are a community of farmers, neighborhood families, and moms who have joined together to provide high quality, nutritious, and safe fruits and vegetables.  Our group of farms are family run, most of which are multi-generational. Our farmers are passionate and fiercely proud of what they grow.  Our families wish to enjoy food that has not traveled thousands of miles and for many weeks.  Our neighborhood coordinators will deliver your produce to your door, fresh from the farm and will be available to answer your questions and handle customer service issues immediately.

A seasonal membership costs just $50, and our season lasts from May to October.  Every week our members will enjoy a box FULL of fruits and vegetables (sometimes overflowing) picked at the peak of ripeness and delivered the next day.  You can choose the box type that best suits your family’s needs., The Garden Box contains more of these ready-to-eat, family-friendly, salad-making basics such as cucumbers, celery, green peppers, corn and tomatoes for $25.75 per week.  The Chef's Box also includes a variety of classic sides, such as squash, cauliflower, spinach, green beans, potatoes, kale, and more, also for $25.75 per week.  Throughout the season, we hope to organize community events such as local farm visits, fruit picking and local wine tastings.  Going on vacation, busy week ahead?  No problem.  You always have the option to “skip” a week when you need to.

We are offering a “trial box” on April 14.  You don’t even need to be a member to enjoy the trial box.  Contact us atwww.thefarmtable.org and we will put you in touch with a neighborhood coordinator near you.  If you like what’s in that first box (and we think you will), sign up as a member and you’ll begin to get your fresh weekly produce at the beginning of May!
