What are Community Care Shares?
Community Care Shares began in 2021 and are a mutual aid offering/program from Conscious Homestead. Once our urban homestead gardens are ready to harvest we will take stock of what is available to share with the community. On a weekly basis we will clean, divide and package our homestead grown produce for redistribution within the local BIPOC community. Those who have signed up for our Community Care Shares will be emailed each week we have produce to share and in that email you will be informed of the pick-up dates and times that week.
How does it work?
Sign up by filling out this brief form here. When the grow season begins in the late Spring/Summer of 2022, we will send out a weekly message to the folks who sign up here with a link to this very page; our online Community Care Shares Shop.
The shop will list all of the produce (homestead grown vegetables, fruits, herbs, teas, ferments, eggs, seedlings, seeds etc.) available to the community. Scroll through the online shop and select the items you would like set aside for pick-up on a designated date and time.
Being that we are operating from a small urban homestead understand that:
We may not be able to feed every BIPOC in VT but we sure can offer some organic, locally grown food to share as a supplement for your groceries. Grown by BIPOC for BIPOC.
Community Care Shares Shop is closed for the season and reopens in the Spring/Summer of 2022.

Being that we are operating from a small urban homestead understand that:
- everyone on this list is not guaranteed to receive a community care share every week; at this point its first come, first serve. (we welcome suggestions)
- we will need to limit the number of items per person when reserving your community care share.
