FULL SHARE
The full share is the best option if you want to experience the great value and diversity of our CSA. The full share runs for 26 weeks starting in mid-May through mid-November. A full share will feed between 2-4 people and is best for those who have time to cook, want to  incorporate a lot more vegetables in your diet and eat more healthy. Our weekly emails include many recipes to help you use all that is in your share! The cost is $565.
