The FernLeaf Market Club is designed specifically for FernLeaf staff to enjoy sharing fresh, healthy, whole foods with the convenience of on-site pickup. If you’re not a FernLeaf staff member, check out Caja's other community food programs here.
A subscription to the FernLeaf Market Club features a weekly curated share of fresh produce delivered directly to FernLeaf. Add on local eggs, pastured-raised meat, and an organic plant based protein for a complete Market Club experience!
Pick up your Market Club share every Friday 2:30-3:30pm at the FernLeaf campus of your choice.
Please BRING A BAG, and leave your empty basket to be replaced with a full basket the following week.
Each weekly produce share features a rotating selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables (7-10 varieties) from local and regional farms, plus global varieties when our local growing season slows down. Organic options are provided for items typically high in pesticide residues (think "the dirty dozen").
A typical produce basket will include approximately 40 servings of fruits and vegetables. For larger families, we recommend 2 produce shares to help meet the daily recommended amount of 4-5 servings of fruits and veggies per day.
Proteins will include 2 packs of meat and 1 plant based protein, rotated by type on a weekly basis including: Hickory Nut Gap pasture raised beef, pork, or chicken (available seasonally), Brentwood Farms pasture raised pork, Wild Salmon Co. wild-caught Alaskan salmon and cod (available seasonally). Plant based protein rotations will include natural peanut butter, organic dried beans, tempeh, tofu and nuts.

Subscriptions will automatically be re-billed each week. Change or cancel your subscription at any time, preferably a week in advance of the next delivery day. Caja Solidaria will pause subscriptions for weeks of scheduled school closures.
Sign-ups will initially be limited to 15 shares per campus, on a first-come first serve basis.
Pre-packed produce baskets will be placed on the designated shelves at your campus. Meat and eggs will be temporarily stored in an adjacent cooler. Any shares not collected by 4pm on Friday will be donated to the FernLeaf food program.
