What is the Westcott Vegetable Club?

The Westcott Vegetable Club is a weekly *pre-pay* farmstand bringing locally grown vegetables to the hyper-local Westcott community. During the growing season (June-October), we offer weekly pickup on Wednesday evenings in the Westcott neighborhood. Produce is harvested to-order on the morning of delivery. 

The Westcott Vegetable Club is *not* a CSA. There is no obligation to purchase weekly and all orders are custom.

Why not just have a farm stand?

The pre-pay model allows us to harvest, pack, and deliver *only* produce that is already sold. Traditional farm stands and farmers' markets require farmers to guess what they will sell, over-harvest for the sake of creating abundant displays, stand behind a table for an entire day, and then discard unsold product at the end of the market, a waste of both produce and time!

How it works:

  1. Sign up for the club! Join our email list to be notified of weekly order opportunities.
  2. Make an order! Choose produce for your custom box. Regular weekly ordering is open from Saturday morning to Tuesday afternoon. There is currently no minimum. 
  3. Pick up your order! Pick up your custom box from 5-7pm on Houston Avenue in the Westcott neighborhood, just south of Levy Middle School.
  4. Hang out (if you want)! Say hi and have a seltzer, or just go straight home if you want. The club is for vegetables…but also for getting to know your community.

Where is the food from?

The club is a program of Hundred Bears Farm, based in Syracuse but growing on land in Oswego County. Most of the food is from our farm, with select other produce sourced from local partner farms. Grindstone is USDA certified organic and all of the produce for sale through the Westcott Vegetable Club is grown within organic standards.
