Sorry -- just realized that while the info I was thinking of is on the website I gave below, it isn't immediately obvious how to get to it from the page I first gave. Try these (part of the same site):

Community Supported Agriculture.
Basically, customers/members pay a set amount per year for a share of that year's production; and expect to get farm product (often weekly, for a set number of weeks during the year); with exactly what's in the shares varying by season and according to what's doing well on that farm. They generally also expect a more direct connection with "their farm" than they'd have from getting their food by other routes.
Beyond that, details vary wildly. Here's a good web site to start from:
