New this year, we are offering a weekly share that you order and pay for online.

We are offering a limited number of Val's Quick Pic Shares.  The cost to become a member is $25 for one season.

Each week you want to order you pick 6-9 items from the shopping cart and pay $25 for each share thru paypal.  

This is a way you can enjoy the freshest local vegetables and not have to commit to a full share up front.  If you are going to be gone for a week or you have some left over from last week you don't have to order a box for the next week.  You only order the week you want a box. 

Beginning May 18, 2012 you will be able to place your order using the Shopping Cart and choose 6 to 9 items. After you have made your selections you will checkout with PayPal. 

Your order will be delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday to your pickup site, La Grande, Pendleton or Baker City.

Order cycle will start on Friday at 12:00 a.m. and closes Sunday at 5 p.m. All orders are on a first come basis, so get your order in early before things sell out.
