We officially started our this past week. It's a small enterprise, 5 shares...is that even large enough to be considered a CSA? :)
 
But, it's all I can do, what with the full time off-farm job, 3 kids and the almonds...so we'll start small and grow from there (pun intended).
 
But I do have to say, it's a rush, giving out that first bag, seeing them peer inside and then smile brightly. Why hasn't anyone talked about that? I puffed up with pride without even knowing it. What a rush!

Hi,

 

Have thought often about CSA’s.  Have been a grower for well over 40 years, we think it’s about time to start one.

 

Out of curiosity, what is the going rate(s), quantities, etc?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Ron in Toto’s state, Kansas

Hi Marcy,

 

We’re putting our 45 CSA shares in boxes this year so we can stack them in the mini van. We always used bags before, but now there isn’t room for that. If the CSA grows much more, we’ll have to get a big van I guess.
