What We Offer |
||
One of the hardest questions to answer when discussing a CSA share is “How much food will I get each week?”. Often what we plan to give isn’t the same as what the actual yield is when it comes time to harvest. Factors such as weather, fertility and garden pests can at times result in much higher or lower yields than anticipated. As far as quantity goes, we aim to provide Full Share members with the amount of vegetables an average family of four would eat each week; and Half Share members about half as much. We consider “average” to mean a family who includes a few servings of fresh veggies daily in their diet. Some shares may be more bountiful than you need, while others may be a bit on the small side, depending on farming conditions such as those mentioned earlier. But despite these fluctuations, you can expect a wide variety of produce in the share every week. To help members get an idea of what to expect week to week and month to month, here is a list of what vegetables we plan to offer each season, as it becomes ripe for harvest. In addition to the share, we also have pick-your-own strawberries, flowers, and cherry tomatoes. |
