Shared Harvest is all about local veggies, but we like to provide shareholders with some optional “Extras” to complement the delicious vegetables in the share. Limited space and logistical constraints mean we must choose carefully the Extras we offer. It should come as no surprise that we like to support small, local, family businesses. 
Check in on the Wright-Locke Farm website Shared Harvest portal a week or so before each distribution. There you will any specially available Extras that will be available at the next scheduled distribution. A week before the distribution, we order the Extras from local producers- shareholders pick up and pay for their Extras when they get their shares.
You can also shop any week for regular offerings through Wright-Locke Farm’s Farm to Go program.
Here’s the likely schedule for the Extras offered this year. (These will be confirmed closer to the time they are to be ordered.).
