The Napier Produce Partnership is a chance for you to participate in the Napier ministry and support the sale of fresh and affordable produce to the Napier community – all the while, enjoying fresh local produce yourself! Your participation directly benefits participants at the Napier Produce Stand, where the exact same produce is offered but at a discounted cost.
The current season is running from May 8, 2022 to October 9, 2022. There are 10 more spots available.
Once registration is closed, you can still visit the stand to purchase à la carte produce!

A seasonal subscription of local produce from Wade Farms supports the sale of produce affordably in Napier.
When you sign up for a season-long produce subscription, you will receive a weekly box of produce (roughly enough for an average family of 4 for one week) filled with your choice of whatever Farmer Wade has available that week.
Choose your produce on Sunday mornings between 9:30am and 12:00pm at Midtown’s Granny White location. The season runs from May 8 to October 9, with a break week on July 17.
Bonus: A fabulous chef from Midtown 12 South will create a weekly document to include food storage tips and recipes featuring the week’s offerings.
If you sign up for the Produce Partnership, $4 of your $20 weekly price goes to purchase produce for the Napier community. That means 20% of the cost of your season’s subscription would go to Napier ($88 of the $440 total cost of doing the partnership).
Farmer Hargis Wade of Wade Farms is offering his produce to us at wholesale prices (roughly 50% off) to sell in Napier. We will use the money from the Napier Produce Partnership to purchase the produce and then sell it to Napier residents in two different ways:
The cost is $440 for the entire 22-week season. This comes out to $20 per week ($16/week for your produce + a $4/week donation to offset the cost of selling the same produce affordably in Napier). Our farmer’s costs have gone up since last year which is why the pricing looks slightly different from last season.
There are two payment options:
You can have a friend, neighbor or family member come pick up your produce to use that week!
Yes! This is a wonderful opportunity to build community. You may consider purchasing one or more subscriptions to share with your discipleship group, neighbors, roommates, or friends. You can use the produce together (plan, cook and eat meals together) or simply share the cost of a seasonal subscription and take turns picking up and using the produce each week. Please only have one person register per seasonal subscription that you wish to purchase.
Don’t let that stop you from participating! If there are enough produce partners at any particular Midtown congregation, we will work to coordinate volunteers from that congregation who could come pick up boxes and deliver to the congregation each Sunday. Also, a box can be filled and set aside for you to pick up later on Sunday. Please contact Jenny Gilbert at gw.napier.connect@gmail.com if you’d like to arrange this latter option.
Yes! The farm stand will be open outside Granny White from May 1 until October 30 for à la carte purchases. À la carte customers are upcharged 30% to contribute to purchasing produce for the Napier community.
