As far as what you get, it depends on what is in season, how the rains affect the crop, etc. We joined in August, and since then this is what I remember getting (it is not an exhaustive list):
- tomatoes (all kinds)
- watermelon
- peppers (green, cherry, hot, jalapenos, etc.)
- sweet potatoes
- pick-your-own berries
- cabbage
- green beans
- snap peas
- lettuce (multiple varieties)
- basil (sooo good!)
- cilantro
- thyme
- rosemary
- okra
- fresh cut flowers
- Swiss chard (this is like spinach)
- garlic
- turnips
- beets
- green tomatoes (yes, I made fried green tomatoes, and believe it or not they were awesome!)
- ??? I'm sure I'm forgetting other things
The prices for 2011 haven't been posted yet, but when they are I'll let you know. The cost varies depending on if you buy a whole or a half share. Below I've posted the cost for 2010. You can get a half or a whole share - my family is a family of 4 - my husband, me, and a 3 and a 1 year old. We got a half share - most weeks it was enough, and we're planning on getting a half share again next season.
PRICE PER SHARE
For returning members, if you ordered before Dec. 31 it was:
Half Share $285 (if you ordered after Dec. 31 it was $300)*
Full Share $450 (if you ordered after Dec. it was $480)
These prices are for 20 weeks of produce - May thru Oct
*we joined late in the season - in Aug, and our amount was prorated.
