September Harvest Box

In addition to our regularly scheduled Fall-and-Winter shares from October to January, we are now offering a September Harvest Box for $75 that can be ordered as a stand-alone option or as an add-on to our Fall-and-Winter share. We hope you’ll enjoy this opportunity to start eating Wolf Pine goodness even sooner this season. It is designed to roll into our Fall-and-Winter share season.

This is a stand-alone option, so if you’ve been pondering a winter share but want to see what it might be like, this is a great way to test-drive what one box feels like. The September Harvest Box will be one box that is bursting full of a variety of produce available during this bountiful month in Maine where just about every veggie is coming on strong. You can plan on several weeks of meals that are very veggie-focused and seasonal to the max!
