WHAT'S
IN OUR CSA SHARES?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This list is meant to be used as
a resource for people considering purchasing a CSA share from Maxwell Creek Farm Share.
This season, we will again be using our rigid blue agricultural stack and nest
totes. A standard share receives (1) tote per week which
holds approximately 1/2 bushel. A double share receives
(2) totes per week containing approximately 1 bushel. While these totes
were
much more costly than other packaging we tried in the past (wood baskets, plastic
bags, cloth bags, wax boxes), they have proven to be a more permanent, long-term solution
for our CSA program. The smooth food-grade material is easily
sanitized between weekly shares and the rigid form allows for stacking
without damage to your produce.
Shares may be slightly light in the spring when not as many items are
available and will be heavier filled to the brim in the summer and fall when a
larger variety of crops are bearing. You can expect a variety of 6 -
12 fresh produce items each week. Be sure to check out our
CROPS page to see what
we will be growing for our 2012 CSA program.
