2026 Produce Box Subscription
Past Boxes
The Program
We are excited to once again offer produce boxes to the community. We will have an 18 week subscription (2 more weeks than last year!) running from the beginning of June throught the end of September. Please see below for exact dates for each market.
The program will include one 1/2 bushel box of fresh, local produce each week. Please see the pictures above and the list of produce below for an example of what we'll include.
We are also offering an egg subscription this year! Please note that, while we do not raise chickens, we have partnered with Olsen Farms in Rising Sun, MD to bring fresh eggs to our markets. We started working with them last year to supply eggs at the CalvertHealth market and were thrilled with their quality and, as many of you requested, we have decided to also offer them on a subscription bases for both the CalvertHealth Farmers Market and The North Beach Farmers Market.
Eggs will be offered on a longer season. You can purchase an egg subscription separate from a produce box subscription. Please see below for more details.
As we do at our farmer's markets, we will only provide you with top grade, fresh, local produce. We have a very high standard for all of our produce.
The Cost
Our produce boxes cost $540 for the full season or $270 for every other week pickup. That breaks down to only $30 per week - you will always receive your full $30 worth of produce!
We are now offering lump-sum or weekly subscription payments.
Eggs will be a seperate subscription of $6 per week and are available for the full market season or for every other week.
**If you pre-pay for the season you will get 50 cents off each dozen!**
Please see below for all options.

-
You can pick up at one of our other markets.
-
You can have a friend or family member pick up for you.
-
If you know you will miss 1 or 2 weeks, you can pay for your box below. If you think you will miss more than 2 weeks, please contact us to set up your payment. Exact dates can be chosen later. *After the start of the season, please contact us to sign up for this option.
-
Weekly Subscriptions can be paused with prior notice.
**You must let us know if you will be missing a pickup at least 24 hours in advance.
**There is no refund or rescheduling a pickup for no call no show at the designated pick up location.
What if a Market is Cancelled Due to Weather?
Unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate with us. If the market is cancelled due to severe weather we will email you with some options.
Most likely you will be able to pick up at a different market later in the week or have an extra week added to the end of the season. For single day purchases you will be able to pick up at a different market or at the next week's market you purchased for.
If we don't get a response from you we will assume you are fine with adding an extra week to the end of the season.
