eat local, all year long - 2011 MM Local Harvest Share

HARVEST SHARES ARE SOLD OUT FOR THE 2011 SEASON

How it works

The MM Local Harvest Share program is the best way to support MM Local and our local agriculture community. Your commitment early in the season provides the resources we need to buy more delicious produce from local family farmers. In return, we give you the best deal on our products and guarantee you a mix of all of our delicious products.

Choose one of our four levels of harvest shares:

$100 - Quarter Share (16 total jars)
$185 - Half Share (32 total jars)
$265 - Full Share (48 total jars)
$480 - Partner Share (96 total jars)

We'll have convenient pick up opportunities in November where you can swing by and take home your order, or you can choose to have your share delivered for an additional fee. Dates and locations will be announced in advance, and we will work with you to make sure you get your goods! In the the meantime, you'll be the first to receive regular updates with the latest news on the harvest, our new products and exciting food events.

What you get

A share of the MM Local harvest, plain and simple. We are focused on sourcing the highest quality produce of the 2011 Harvest Season - which is kind of like having Mother Nature come on board as the head of product development. We’ll choose the products we make based on the crops she and our farmer partners grow best. And because we will pick the best fruits and vegetables of the season, you can expect a unique mix of superior-tasting products that you can cook with and savor all year round.

You’ll receive the products you love - tomatoes, peaches, chile peppers, pickled beets and paonia pears – but you’ll also get to taste a selection of exciting new simply-preserved products. Hotchkiss Apples, Dill Pickles, tomato juice and cherries might all make an appearance in your share. As a member of the Harvest Share program, you’ll also be among the first to know as this year's product mix comes to life through our exclusive Harvest Share updates.

Add-ons: Even more add-ons for 2011!

Want more of a particular product? Now you can sign up for extras of what you love with your order of any Harvest Share. Choose 4 additional jars of Tomatoes, Chiles, Peaches, Pickled Beets or Grab Bags of fruit or new products. You can pick as many add-ons as your heart desires.

What products can I expect?

Because we buy what grows best in a given year, the contents of your Harvest Share will be a little different every year. In 2011 a Full Share (48 jars) might expect to receive:

12 Front Range Tomatoes
6 Western Slope Peaches
6 Paonia Pears and Old Orchard Plums
6 High Desert Chile Peppers
5 Pickled Boulder Beets
13 delicious new products - from Spicy Dill Pickles to Western Slope Cherries

What if I want to choose what's in my Harvest Share?

MM Local's ability to make the best products we can depends on our flexibility to each year's harvest. We hope you'll understand that the majority of the products you receive will be dictated by the harvest. With that in mind, we will do our very best to help you get what you want. If you have a product you'd prefer not to receive, let us know.

If you want more choice right now, we're offering add-ons to any Harvest Share that allow you to tack on a few extra products of your choice to your basic share - see the sign up page to select Add-Ons!
