Our 2010 CSA Farm Fresh Food Club will consist of an eighteen week Full-season Share from June 17 through October 14. For those with summer gardens or who are away much of the summer, we offer a six week Fall Share from September 9 through October 14. 

Members will come to Rehoboth Homestead (map) on Thursday afternoons from 3 to 6:30 p.m. to select from a buffet of fresh vegetables. 

The "regular" weekly share will provide a variety of vegetable dishes and salad for four or five meals for two or three adults. Members with "regular" shares choose 8 to 12 items from a variety of offerings. The June offerings are smaller than later offerings to avoid swamping you in greens, but it is made up later. This will be our first year offering "small" shares for those who don't wolf down lots of vegetables. The "small" share will be 4 to 6  items with smaller amounts of some items. It will be 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the "regular" share. I did manage once last year to write down what folks had to choose from. The last week of October, members chose from orange and white carrots, sweet potatoes, fingerling potatoes, white, yellow, and red potatoes, celeriac, red, candy-striped, gold, and white beets, Wakefield, savoy, red, and chinese cabbages, pac choi, garlic, onions, spinach, kale, arugula, Bibb lettuce, romaine, spicy and sweet salad mixes, parsley, dill, and cilantro.

You can check the Blog link to see how the plantings are progressing or to see what was offered in previous years. 

Some items (beans and peas, cherry tomatoes, herbs, etc) will be pick-your-own. These are things that take little time to pick one share's worth, but a lot of time to pick for all the shares. We will try to have some picked ahead for those who cannot physically harvest or who have babies in the car or are in a time crunch. Frequently some of our members will pick extra for those who can't pick.

We hope to have a members' blog so you can share recipes and advice.

A deposit of $100 or more will secure your membership until June 1st, when full payment is due. Full season regular shares cost $475. Small shares cost $275. There is an early signup discount of $25 when your deposit is received by February 28. Fall shares cost $175 if paid before June 1, $200 after that (many of our fall crops are planted in June).
