What is RISE Farm Share?
RISE Farm Share is a 24-week membership subscription to a "share" of locally grown vegetables. Members sign up ahead of time to receive fresh produce every Wednesday. Our farmer, Sang Lee Farms, is an organic, regenerative, third-generation family farm and delivers produce directly to our door each week for you.
Farm Share is a commitment for the entire season!
