Once you are signed up as a client you will receive a variety of fresh produce either weekly or bi-weekly. You can choose the frequency, bin size and even customize your basket of goods. The fresh bin contents reflect the current market and are based on seasonal availability of products. A typical bin might contain a number of fresh fruits and vegetables, organic local milk, fair trade organic coffee and gluten-free bread.
