Harvest Shares
Our Harvest Share program is a great way to get a variety of fresh food each week while supporting local farms. For our harvest program, enrolled farmers deliver their produce, and our staff lovingly packs a bag for each member.
No week will ever be the same, and you’ll likely get foods you’ve never tried before. Due to the variable nature of the growing season, it’s important to realize that your selections may vary.
If you or your organization would like to sponsor a community harvest box subscription, please contact us at mercadopopct@gmail.com.
Our program will be on hold until late summer of 2025 so we can focus on the buildout of our store. Please stay tuned for updates, we look forward to opening in 2025.
