More about our Produce Groups

If you are looking to save on healthy foods for your family, we can help. As an organic produce buying club we can buy in bulk at wholesale prices and share the discount with our members. Groups meet in various places in the Miami area including Miami Springs, Doral, Cutler Bay, Homestead, and Redlands. If you don't see a group near you or just want information about hosting a location for your community, let us know! We offer organic produce every two weeks. Hosts divide the produce between the boxes as fairly as possible. If you have food allergies or do not eat a certain item, work directly with the host to make swaps. She will make accommodations whenever possible.

I have personally loved the selection. It’s what we’ve been feeding our family for several years now. Anyone interested is encouraged to try it out once or twice to see if it works for your family.

Members need to contribute in some way, but there are so many ways to get involved, that no one is excluded. (I.E. take home a box to recycle, hand out flyers, . . .) Pick up times and locations are posted on the web (every other Tuesday). This may be the only difficulty for some, but if you want to start a group for your neighborhood, community or organization, at your own convenient location and set up your own pick up time, you would receive your produce for free as the host and your helper gets a discount as well.

HOW DOES A PRODUCE SHARE WORK?

We welcome you to try out a share any time we have an opening available! One share costs $52 and consists of an assortment of fresh veggies, greens and fruit, 12 items in total (see recent order list at left.) Find the location nearest you (from the list below) and contact the host of the site for more information. Once you've tried it a couple of times, we will ask you to join as a member, or we may have to use the spot for someone else. Joining requires a one-time $20 membership fee, as well as a double payment to put you in a pre-paid status (thus you are always paying for the next delivery - the current one you are picking up having been already paid for.) When you end your membership, your last pick-up requires no further payment.
The extra fruit share costs an additional $23.

Contact one of our hosts below and she can help figure out your total.
