The Florida growing season is during our cooler months At Geraldson Community Farm our season runs 28 weeks.
First Harvest is November 12, 2011
Final Harvest is May 31, 2012
When you pickup your share at the farm, you will have the opportunity assemble your share: the harvested produce will be displayed for you to pick out (i.e. you can pick the specific head of lettuce you want).
When your share is delivered to WSLR Sarasota or Saint Stephens Episcopal School (only school families and staff) it will arrive in pre-packaged boxes. We ask you return the boxes for reuse in the next week's shares.
Each week the share will include six to nine different crops. (Click here to view our crop list)
The farm also features pick-your-own (PYO) crops. Some weeks members will be invited to harvest in a selected area. This benefit is open to all members, not just those who pickup at the farm. It is not a guarantee. (Click here for more info on PYO)
