All these replies just make me want to do this even more. In the summertime I'm practically a vegetarian anyway - unless a nice steak gets in the way. And I've done my share of canning and freezing so that's not a problem.

I've been asking around my circle of acquaintances to see if anyone might want to share, and I will call the farm again to see if they can't put me on a list of people wanting to share, or if they would consider offering a half share. This is a resort/retirement community if that makes any sense. Either you are a tourist, here for a week or a weekend, or retired and a bit older than me. We seem to have a disporportionate population of older single women for example.
