Some food hubs charge less than $50 for membership. Of course operating
costs for the hub have to come from somewhere and that is something each
hub has to determine. They can charge nothing to buyers and raise the
costs on the producers, who will either pass it along to the consumer
through higher costs or eat it (the cost) themselves.

Some people are happy to pay what amounts to a buck a week to be able to
order exactly what they want from 20 different local producers, none of
which has a CSA program, especially in the "off season". It depends on
how people look at it, the dynamics of the local economy (both producer
and consumer ends). Some consumers will even consciously pay more for
their food to see local small "farms" succeed.
