leaf farm shares

An investment in you, our food system, and our future leaders! 

  • Farm shares are a direct way to support your local farmers, like us! Farming is hard work (just ask our youth about hot summer days on the farm). Being a part of a farm share means investing in the farmer, the land, and the growing community. As a member, you receive an awesome weekly haul of seasonal produce and a newsletter with recipes and stories of our youth. Members pay upfront or through payment plans so that we can purchase all the things we need to deliver fresh, nutritious veggies to you! 

    Becoming a LEAF farm share member means supporting your local food system and amazing young people. Farm shares are all about trust, and you can rest easy knowing that we have some darn talented young growers!

    We love building relationships with our farm-share members! It’s important to us that we deliver quality products and professional communication. We also rely on our farm share members to give us thoughtful feedback and pick up their farm shares on time (our lettuce really likes that!). So that we are all on the same page, we ask that you read our Farm Share Agreement and agree to the relationship expectations (don’t worry, it’s only a few bullet points) before purchasing for your farm share. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

  • Think about the best tomato you’ve ever had. Our guess is you picked right off the plant and bit in like an apple (no judgy, we do that all the time). Farm shares highlight in-season produce each week to give you access to the freshest, most delicious vegetables all season long, just like that tomato.

    In the spring you can expect delicious leafy greens (such as kale, arugula, spinach, or lettuce), spring roots, and the early season crops like peas and broccolini!

    As our growing season progresses into summer and fall, a typical weekly share will highlight our favorite summer veggies like peppers, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, more greens, as well as roots and alliums (beets, potatoes, carrots, garlic). 

    Everything depends on what is in season and the exciting veggies we grow! If you have opinions on what you’d like to see us grow…take it up with the farmer errr us (really do let us know, we always want your feedback)!

  • If you’re looking for amazing weekly veggies and truly remarkable value-added products from our partner farms, we’ve got you! 

    Here at LEAF, we are proud that our youth crew touches every part of the process of our farm share - from growing, to harvesting, packing boxes, writing newsletters, and all the way to seeking your feedback of how to make it all better. In the big picture, purchasing a LEAF Farm Share is an investment in you, our food system, and our future leaders. 

  • Along with a weekly, youth-written newsletter, you can also expect suggested recipes, youth stories from the farm, and the satisfaction that your purchase is furthering the leadership development of our youth crew! So many benefits to purchasing a LEAF Farm Share!

  • All of our Summer Shares will be delivered to the pickup location of your choosing on a weekly basis from the beginning of June through October!

    a bunch of kale, a bag of lettuce mix, a bunch of mini broccoli, a pint of green beans, two bell peppers, a pint of snack peppers, two eggplants, one pound of heirloom tomatoes, one bunch of green onions, and basil

    The small farm share or free choice share is ideal for households who might be a little anxious about getting a farm share or who want to experiment with local eating!

    A sample Small Farm Share might include the following items:

    a bag of lettuce mix, a bag of spicy greens mix, a pint of green beans, two summer squash, two bell peppers, a pint of snack peppers, and a pint of cherry tomatoes

    Our farm share is built on seasonality so that we can offer you the best of what’s available. Your share will change throughout the season based on the abundance of what the farm has to offer.

    1. We are happy to offer payment plans. You can break up the farm share payment into 2, 3, or 4 installments. Just reach out by email (info@leafprojectpa.org) or phone call (717-559-5323) with what you need and we will create a plan that works for you.  

    2. A few thoughtful donors have offered to help us subsidize shares as requested. If the price of our shares is not something that works for you, we would love to work with you to cover some of the cost. If you want to contribute to subsidizing a share, let us know!

    3. We are excited to offer work shares! This looks like volunteering on our farm in exchange for a discounted farm share. We specifically are looking for support on Mondays + Wednesdays from 8:30 am - 4:00 pm. If those times don't work for you, please still reach out if you're interested and we can accommodate other times on a case-by-case basis.
