Note: The weekly share size beginning in 2008 has increased! Our prior share was 3/4 size. Now we will be a full size and cost has increased accordingly.

Shares include a wide array of fresh, organic, high quality local produce over the season. Per week, the vegetable share averages:

• 2-1/4 pounds of leafy greens
• 6-1/4 pounds of "hard" veggies (squash, carrots, potatoes, onions, turnips)
• in peak summer, lots of wonderful sweet corn!
• herbs, chili peppers, tomatoes, garlic

At the distribution site, bins are labeled with instructions on how much food each member can take - for example, you may get 2lbs of potatoes, 6 tomatoes, and 1 head of lettuce. The CSA provides scales for measuring out your share. Remember to bring your own plastic bags!

More Good Things

FRUIT SHARE: Ted partners with local growers to supply fresh, generally non-organic but minimally treated fruit. Shares begin in the early summer with strawberries, cherries, blueberries and raspberries, progress in mid-summer to include peaches, plums, nectarines, and apricots, and conclude in the fall with assorted apples, pears, and cider.

FLOWERS: We offer a 5 or 10 week share of organic cut flowers grown by Jan Blomgren. Flowers vary by season but have included sunflowers, gladiolas, campanullas, lilies, cosmos, and cockscombs (or "brain flowers" as one young csa member calls them). Bouquets may be an arrangement of several flowers or a large bunch of one kind of flower.

Check out www.CSAPasturedMeatandPoultry.com to see what is offered, costs, and some description of the farms and processors involved.
