For those having trouble finding vegetables at the supermarket, Share the Harvest Farm on Long Lane in East Hampton is offering a 12 to 15-pound bag of fresh produce for $60 a week for 20 families in Amagansett, East Hampton, and Wainscott. 

"We're hoping in the coming weeks that we can open it up to more and more families," Rose Schellinger, a staff member, said. At least 10 different types of vegetables are included, and the farm hopes to add bread, eggs, and beef in the near future.

Orders and payment are by visiting the farm's website. Orders must be placed by noon on Tuesday for home delivery on Friday. Weekly participation is not required. The farm intends to continue the service through May 4.
