Farm Share?


Supper - totally produced on farm. Yum!

So as we begin to gear up again for the next season of CSA (weekly vegetable boxes - for pre-paid customers) - we've been discussing this idea of farm share and whether there is a market/interest/need for a more global look at purchasing shares of what a (and more specifically our) farm produces.

In a CSA, customers purchase a share (or half share) of what the garden produces for 12 weeks. However, we produce stuff year round and often sell these to the same customers that are involved in our CSA.

Would it make sense to have a year round share program? Offer all the farm produces all year round. Meat, vegetables, eggs, (perhaps cheese).... We would have to have some set description and commitment for a certain variety or production but I'm finding it an interesting idea to ponder.... Anyone else have some thoughts?
