About the Fruit Share:

The Colorado Organic Fruit Share is very popular and the fruit is bursting with color and overflowing with flavor.  We gather our fruit from some of the most well known organic orchards on Colorado's Western Slope, including but not limited to First Fruits Orchards, Morton's Orchards, and Ela Family Farms.

 

Here are the answers to our most frequently asked questions:


How much fruit do I get in a share?

Usually around 2 - 3 lbs. of one kind of fruit per week depending on what is ripe for harvest.  The CSA Fruit Share season is 14 - 16 weeks of delicious sweetness!  The weeks may or may not be consecutive depending on when the crop is ripe.  Picking fruit at it's optimal harvest time means the sugar content and nutrition is at it's best. That is one reason why home grown and local produce tastes so yummy since it was not picked earlier than "ripe" for shipping reasons.

 

  • Cherries (Bing and/or Rainier)

  • Apricots

  • Plums

  • Peaches

  • Nectarines

  • Pears

  • Apples

 

(Due to the nature of weather and the possibility of crop failure, there may be a fruit that is unavailable.  In that case, we would add the equivalent of another fruit to take it's place. )

Watermelons, melons, and tomatoes will stay with the Veggie/Herb CSA Share.  The Fruit Share is strictly Colorado fruit from Organic Orchards.

 

When will I begin to receive produce?

Cherries are the first fruit crop and are usually ready the end of June - first of July depending on weather.  Apples and pears are the last fruit crop and go into October.

 


 What are the pick-up locations and times?

These are around the delivery times we think we will have for this year.  They may be adjusted when we get closer to June & finalizing the delivery route.  If you have questions feel free to contact me.

How much does a Fruit Share cost?
$230/ share

How do I purchase a CSA share?
You can sign up on-line and pay with:  Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover or PayPal.  You can also send a check to the farm at the address listed on our contact us page.  If you send a check, please let me know by email or call so that I can hold your share as they can sell out quickly.

 

Do I get to pick what is in my CSA package?

No, CSA shares are created to contain in-season produce and what is at peak harvest for each week.  This way, you optimize the nutrition of your fresh, field to table produce!  

 

Refunds:
Because of planning reasons, there are no refunds for CSA’s.  If you are not able to continue, it is your responsibility to sell your share to someone else and notify us of the CSA share change.

 

Do you offer half-shares?
At this time, I do not offer half shares.  If you feel a full share will be too much fruit, we suggest that you ask a friend if they would be interested in splitting the share with you.  I do not recommend splitting a share though unless you are single and not a big fruit eater.  I try to eat fruit as much as possible when I get the sweet tooth bug.  The fruit is so yummy that I can easily eat a fruit share by myself.

Payment Option:

One time payment of $230.  

Not available for the 2022 Season.
