Hello!
Every year we calculate how much product our CSA members received through our main-season, 26 week share. We have just recently finished the 26-week season so it is time to tally up all produce that you received and then calculate the return (or the amount of produce you received on-top of what you paid for). We consider your investment in our growing season a commitment to healthy food that is grown and produced locally. We always aim to reward that investment with a nice return. Your support is so critical to our viability as a farm. Consider your 2016 return a big Thank You from all of us.
Breakdown: SO your purchase of a vegetable share broken down by week is as follows:
Half-Share : $350 = $13.46/week
Three-Quarter Share: $530 = $20.38/week
Full Share: $685 = $26.34/week
