How does this work?

---

Customers buy "shares" of Mud College Farm's harvest in advance and then receive a weekly portion of the crops and eggs as we harvest them, throughout the season. The amount of produce and eggs will be greater than or equal to $20/week. At our two staffed locations, you will have the option to substitute for other items, generally of equal or lesser value, depending upon availability. Please bring last week’s bag or another labeled bag to your pickup site (boxes are also ok at staffed locations), so that we can repack it for the following week. You will also receive a 10% discount form market stands at our staffed locations.

What is Mud College Farm?

---

Mud College Farm is a certified organic grower located in Gettysburg, near Two Taverns. Our mission is to sustainably grow healthy local food for the Gettysburg area, and to be a catalyst for community and education. Our owner and main farm labor is Ben Mearns, a native of Gettysburg, who made a career change from software development and data analysis, to return to land stewardship and to direct community action. We are a small family farm – growing on 2 acres once farmed by Ben’s father and mother as part of their dairy operation, where his grandparents lived. We also manage 8 acres of conservation land. Our name comes from a nearby historical site, which also lent it’s name to the “Mud College Craft Guild”, of which Ben’s grandmother was a part.
