Members will purchase shares of $150, $200,$250 or $300 in the spring which they'll use as cash throughout the market season. Members will select fruit and produce at either the New London Farmers Market or the Waterford Farmers Market during regular market hours and their total will be subtracted from their share balance. This plan will allow members to choose as little or as much as they want each week and receive a 10% discount off their weekly selections. If initial shares are depleted, additional shares may be purchased during the market season. Share balances remaining at the end of the season will be donated in produce to local food kitchens.
