We are starting to plan for next years CSA -- at this time, we dont know what the price will be to buy in but it will probably be around $350-400 for a half share (half a bushel of produce weekly for approximately 20 weeks - enough for a family of 2), $600 for a full share (a full bushel weekly), and $650 for a split-full (2 half bushels a week) -- these prices are approximate! Like all CSAs, buying a share puts you in partnership with your local grower (us) -- and gives you the same benefits and risks the farmer experiences. If we have a great year, you get LOTS of extras (our members this year received almost twice as much produce as anticipated each week and had opportunities for unlimited picking of u-pick strawberries, large amounts of asparagus, extra non-GMO sweet corn, and freebies and a gift certificate from our Market along with Pumpkin Party passes--they did receive about three times their investment and some told us they even had to buy an additional freezer or start canning to preserve all the goodies they had each week!), but if we have crop failure, you share that risk with us. Because we have such a wide variety of produce, it usually balances out if something like that happens. If you are thinking about signing up for our CSA, would you please let us know by commenting or liking this post? This isnt a promise or a guarantee on either side, but it will give us some idea on the interest out there! We do focus on the regular produce, not more unusual things. We are looking at possibly having pick ups at our Market Tuesday thru Saturday, and potentially doing a once-a-week delivery to the Detroit Lakes and/or Bemidji area if we can find a business/individual willing to be a pick-up location. Here are a few photos from our crops this year :)
