Frequently Asked Questions
How big is one share?
One share equals about two plastic grocery bags. It will include 6 to 8 different types of produce every week. We estimate it will feed two veggie-loving adults or a small family.
How often do I get my share?
Once a week, either on Wednesday or Saturday.
What type of produce will be in my share?
Please see our list on the Crops page.
When can I pick up my share?
Either on Wednesday (3pm-6pm) or Saturday(11am-3pm).
Where are the pickup locations?
Can I switch my pickup day?
No, you must stick to the day you chose at signup. If you are unable to make it you can send a friend in your place. Unclaimed shares will be donated right after pickup times.
Do I have to pay my share all at once?
No. We break the payment down into three smaller payments. Please contact us for details.
Can I split my share with someone?
Yes. However, that is something that you must orchestrate. We will not split the share for you. Also, we can only accept payment from one party-not both.
Can someone else pick up my share for me?
Yes. If you will be out of town or unable to make it to the pickup during the allocated time, you can send a friend.
Do I have to apply for membership each year?
Yes. Each year you must again purchase a share to become a member. The memberships do not automatically renew.
Is Geraldson Community Farm the place I used to go a few years ago to pick strawberries and tomatoes?
Not exactly. The Geraldson family sold their farm land in 2005 to Manatee County. The RC&D worked to implement a plan that would preserve the agricultural hertiage of the land. We now run Geraldson Community Farm as a nonprofit through the RC&D. The Geraldson family is no longer directly involved in the project, but we kept their name to honor their contribution to Manatee County agriculture.
