The program is a partnership between The Wild Ramp and Marshall’s Sustainability Department. This Community Supported Agriculture program allows members to receive seasonal vegetables from farmers throughout the region. Each bag contains approximately $25 worth of produce purchased by monthly subscription. A typical share contains about four or five different fresh fruits and vegetables with a local value-added product, along with a recipe. The types of produce vary based on what the farmers have available.
The Wild Ramp offers a month-to-month payment option or a discounted 12-week option. For the monthly option, payments need to be made the week prior to the next four-week period. Payment due dates are July 6, Aug. 3, Aug. 31, Sept. 28, and Oct. 26. Cost is $100 for four weeks.
Registration can be submitted at https://goo.gl/forms/7uG02vSQEHDDhpFI3 and must be made by the Thursday prior to the member’s first harvest pickup.
