    I'm thinking of joining this one when I move for the new job (it's in a neighboring town): http://www.wolfpinefarm.com/

    They have winter shares but not summer...hopefully I will be able to have a spot for a garden but if not I might have to look for another farm that does summer shares.

    This was our picks this week. Ours has a one-time $20 fee, and then you can pick and choose which weeks you want. Like I said, I think mine is kinda pricey, so unless it's all stuff I want, I've been passing on it.
    $20 Farmer's Pick
    Broccoli (GA) 3/4 pound
    Lettuce (AL) 1 head
    Mixed Roots (Al/GA/SC) 1.5 pounds
    Oranges (FL) 4
    Bell Pepper (FL) 1
    Sugar Snap Peas (GA) 1/2 pound

    Well I joined the CSA with 3 other women from my book club. So our individual weekly cost is only $7.00 each.

    This is what we got in the first box:
    2 lb asparagus
    2 qt strawberries
    1 doz free range brown eggs
    2 Half-gallons apple cider
    1 lb rhubarb
    1 jar honey
    1 hydroponic cucumber
    1 head hydroponic arugula

    The cider was frozen from last fall for the 1st CSA Box this season. The eggs are from a neighboring farm, as is the hydroponic cuke and arugula. Honey is from the bees used to pollinate the host farm. The strawberries are delicious!

    I can see now that splitting this 4 ways is insane. What can I do with 2 or 3 stalks of rhubarb which is all I got? In the other hand, if I'd come home with nothing but asparagus and strawberries I would be a happy camper. I see an asparagus omlette on the menu this weekend.

    Next year I think I have to spring for a full share.
