What is a Harvest Share?

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.

Here's what our Harvest Shares will look like in 2012:

$110 - Quarter Share (18 total jars)
$205 - Half Share (36 total jars)
$295 - Full Share (60 total jars)
$525 - Partner Share (120 total jars)

Pick Ups

Like last year, we'll have convenient pick up opportunities in November and where you can swing by and take home your order. For Full and Partner Shares, we will offer a second pick up in the early winter, so you can enjoy an even greater variety of delicious products. You can choose to have your share delivered within the Denver/Boulder Urban area for a small 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 2012 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, paonia pears and pickles – but you’ll also get to taste a selection of exciting new simply-preserved products. Cherries, apricots, dried peaches and pears, tomatoes with cilantro, pickled carrots, pickled onions and pickled asparagus 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 Harvest Share updates.

Add-ons: Even more add-ons for 2012!

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 select one of our Grab Bags: The Fruit Nut, The Pickler, or our 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. The Full Share (48 jars) in 2011 looked like this:

12 Front Range Tomatoes (Basil, Rosemary & Oregano)
5 Tomato Juice (Spicy & Regular)
6 Pickled Boulder Beets
4 Dill Pickles (Garlic & Spicy)
6 High Desert Chile Peppers (your choice of HOT or MILD)
6 Western Slope Peaches (with Honey & without)
10 Paonia Pears (Pears, Pears with Rosemary & Pear (not apple) Sauce)
2 Extra New Products for a total of 50 jars!

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 with 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!

Why buy a Harvest Share?

The MM Local Harvest Share guarantees that you'll get the best deal on MM Local's products and get as much as you want before they sell out. Plus, your early purchase strengthens our collective commitment to local family farmers by providing a stable and growing market for their produce. As a result, we are able to buy more from our partner farms to make an even greater impact on our local food economy. It's a win-win-win program for you, MM Local, and the people who grow us such great food.
