I also highly recommend these. We did them for quite a few years. The last one we tried also had u-pick flowers, plus programs for kids to learn organic farming and integrated pest management, as well as cooking. They also had a store for people not on the program.
I no longer subscribe because it’s just me at home and I can’t keep up.
The negative factor is you get what’s in season, which is not always what you want
Yeah, it's just me now as well. I split a share with a friend for a few years, which was nice, we could pawn off anything we didn't particularly care for on the other person. Mostly, it worked well - she loved beets, I hate them; I love garlic, she only wants like 2 bulbs a year.
Then my farmers retired during the pandemic and I had to find a new farm. My new place offers 10 week shares: any ten weeks during the growing season, I can go and pick up a box, I don't even have to notify them ahead of time. I cook as much as I can and freeze about half of it, then eat my way out over the winter.
