The Program
We are excited to once again offer produce boxes to the community. We will have a 16 week subscription that will begin June 3, 2025 and will end September 20, 2025.
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.
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 $480 for the season. That breaks down to only $30 per week.
You can also puchase a box for every other week pickup, which would cost $240 for the season.
Your options for payment:
-
A one-time payment of $480 (full season) or $240 (every other week) at time of sign up.
-
Two payments of $240 each. The first payment is due at sign up and the second is due by May 15, 2025. ** This option is only available until May 1, 2025.
-
Purchase weekly ($30) through our website or purchase at the farmers market the week before.
-
Purchase one of our extra boxes on the day of the market. (Limited numbers available.)
The payment links are at the bottom of this page.
Pick Up Options
Pick ups will occur at two of our farmers markets. Your options are:
-
Tuesdays at CalvertHealth in Prince Frederick (June 3 through September 16)
-
2:30 pm to 5:30 pm
-
-
Saturdays at The North Beach Farmer's Market (June 7 through September 20)

Missing a Week
There are a few options for you if you miss a pickup week (must be pre-arranged):
-
You can pick up two boxes on another week.
-
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.
**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 moving the box to the end of the season.
