Farm Share is Coming to ACPS

- News and Announcements

This winter and spring, eat well and support local farms with The Common Market Farm Share. In keeping with our health and wellness goal as part of the ACPS 2020 Strategic Plan, beginning this November, Central Office staff members will have the opportunity to conveniently pick up fresh and locally grown foods on the 4th floor.

What is a farm share?

The Common Market Farm Share is a subscription to seasonal, local foods, all sourced from nearby family farms. Members receive their choice of share, including a:

  • Small or large produce share (with the option to add on a dozen certified humane eggs)
  • artisanal cheese share
  • antibiotic-free poultry share
  • full meat share
  • freshly baked bread share
  • and/or a plain or flavored yogurt share

You can even order your Thanksgiving turkey!

The Winter and Spring season will include 12 bi-weekly deliveries from November until May. View pricing and share information.
