Briermere Farms, located in nearby Riverhead NY, provides fresh local fruit for our fruit share. The farm is not certified organic, however they certainly aim for as little conventional spray as possible given the wet climate of NY. Many organic practices are integrated into the growing program and they produce their own compost as well.
It is an 4 week share that runs weeks of Nov 20th, Dec 4th, Dec 11th, Dec 18th
COST
$40 for 4 weeks ($10/week)
