This key indicates which share sizes get what produce. Different share sizes will often receive different produce. We will vary what goes into the share each week to spread the bounty equitably to all members.
There are times when mother nature puts a kink in our plans, so while we can't guarantee that all of these items will be in your share, you can expect to see most of them and sometimes a few extras.

We are thrilled to share advice on simple, creative ways to make the most of your share from a true farm-to-table expert, our own Chef Dan Schmit of Wise Acre Eatery.
Rhubarb is one of our favorites at Wise Acre, on the farm and at home. It signals the return of summer and is a great addition to a variety of dishes and beverages.
We use rhubarb in many different ways in the restaurant. One is to preserve it and keep it on hand so it's always ready to use.
Some of my favorite ways to use preserved rhubarb:
-Save the juice and add to your favorite beverage for a fun summer drink. Great in lemonade or with sparking water.
-Desserts! Use it as a topping for cakes, ice cream, or cookies. Rhubarb shortcake? Yes, please!
boil.
-Pour mixture over rhubarb, making sure it stays submerged
-Store in fridge and let is sit for at least a day before serving.
-Salads. Adds crunch, color and flavor to pretty much any salad.
