Vegetable CSA: Share = $240 for 18 - 20 week harvest. Payments are accepted. The gardens will be growing over 60 varieties of fruits and veggies. The harvests begin in June and continue through October. Presently the greenhouse is growing radishes, beets, spinach, lettuces, scallions and tatsoi and Members may begin picking up produce as soon as its ready. These harvests may begin as early as March.
When the season truly takes off, around the middle of June your box will weigh approximately 7 - 10 lbs with enough produce to fill about 1 brown bag at the grocery store. We estimate this to feed 1 heavy veggie eater, 2 mixed food eaters for a week or a family that mainly eats their veggies at dinner time, with some snacking in between. $240 for the season = $12.00 a week. Can you get this many fresh veggies from the grocery store for $12.00 a week? And when fuel prices hit the roof this summer?
