sign up for your sundog farm share
Imagine 16 weeks of fresh and local, certified organic produce. What I love about the Sundog Farm Share is the quality—the veg is pristine, at its peak. I love the adaptability. There are three sizes to choose from and I can customize what I want every week. Don’t need any potatoes that week? Won’t get any potatoes that week. And I love to support a nearby farm. Check it out! James Vriend and Jenny Berkenbosch of Sundog are transitioning to no till, what they call ‘a deep dive to becoming a regenerative farm.’
