We offer a 30 week share that runs from the end of May/beginning of June into December. This extended season share includes field & greenhouse grown crops; our high quality frozen fruits & veggies; and canned pickles, jams, tomatoes, and sauces. We also throw in an option for our local meat, honey, rice, etc every now and then. We are sensitive to gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan needs, however.
In addition, there are a limited number of 16 week "produce only" shares that will run from June until October. These are only available in the half share size.
We strive to provide a wide range of local foods as possible and therefore enjoy working with other farmers, who specialize in crops and products we do not, minimizing the members' risk.
Yellow Wood also runs the Family Harvest Mercantile in Downtown Kirkwood. Our members are able to purchase additional grocery items produced by local family farmers that are not generally included in your shares at this location. Items available include (but not limited to) eggs, beef, poultry, pork, baked goods, jams, honey, popcorn, rice, pickles, sauce, salsa etc. Please see our "Family Harvest" listing for more information.
Tricia & Scott Wagner manage Yellow Wood Farms, LLC with their sons Henry, 11, and Oliver, 3. We raise approximately 23 acres of vegetables, berries, and fruit trees. Tricia and Scott have spent several years working with underserved communities in St. Louis providing access to produce and trees to those in need of them. At Yellow Wood, we are dedicated to raising quality products using socially and environmentally sustainable methods.
Off Farm, we operate a state of the art commercial kitchen for freezing, canning, and baking which we sell mainly to the members of the CSA through our Kirkwood pick up site along with local pastured raised antibiotic free meat and eggs. These goodies are also occassionally offered in the CSA shares.
