There will be an additional materials fee of $5/month per each additional 4′x4′ (16sqft) for sites larger than 4′x12′, to cover the additional plants and seeds. Gardens larger than 4 4’x8’ beds (128sqft) are subject to custom maintenance plans and pricing.
- *Those located outside of the RT 128 belt will be subject to an additional $15/month for travel costs.
- *For the Basic and Farmer-in-Training programs, we require a commitment to the whole season. With cold frames, the season will be from March 1st-December 1st. Without Cold Frames, the season will be from April 1st-November 1st. There will be a cancellation charge of one month’s maintenance if you decide to break from the commitment at any point during the season.
- There is an added cost for Spring Set up and Winter take-down each year. This pre-planting set up costs $75 plus materials (Typically in mid-march/beginning of April for non-cold frame equipped raised-beds) This visits includes adding compost, soil amendments, cleaning out the bed, re-installing or taking down or timers and blowing out the irrigation, and setting up or removing trellising and critter fencing.
