This is the second year we are participating in a CSA from Great Country Farms! Last year we had our share delivered to a group location which was in my husband's work building. This year, our CSA is being delivered to our front door!
The CSA will run for 20 weeks from June 5th to October 16th. Each basket is different and exciting! When you purchase a CSA share through Great Country Farms, you receive free admission for every member of your household to visit the farm (regularly $10 per adult for each visit). There are also weekly items you can pick for yourself (called U-Pick) at the farm included in the CSA cost.
This sounds like such a great price but I wonder if I am getting my money's worth. The cost for a CSA share this year, including delivery and tax, is $618.45. I plan to detail what items have arrived in my box each week and estimate the cost I would have to spend at the grocery or farmer's market. I plan to do this for the season and see how much I have saved (well, hopefully saved!).
Do you participate in a CSA?
