Which share's right for me?

Staple Share: $481 - Just as it sounds, this share is designed for people that would love to be more adventurous of eaters and cooks, if only they had the time. We focus on items that most anyone would know how to prepare, and items that are top 20 sellers in grocery stores. Curveballs in this share could include bok choy, parsnips, or dragon tongue beans. Best enjoyed by people that eat meals away from home often, but enjoy cooking a nice dinner or two a week. 1-3 people. Young couples, or new to CSA members, this one's for you. Our most popular share. 6-8 items/week. 26 weeks.

Gonzo Share: $653 - If you're a self-described foodie, then this is likely your share. Comparable to many Full shares, the Gonzo provides larger portions of most items found in the Staple, but will also include 2-4 additional items per week. This share receives our full selection of produce, and will test the cooking horizons of most people. Curveballs in this share could include salsify, bulb fennel, and fava beans. Not the biggest full share in town, but priced and sized right, with enough diversity to keep even a super-foodie happy. Best enjoyed by at least 2-4 people, who cook and eat together frequently. 8-12 items/week. 26 weeks.

Seesaw Share: $377- An every other week Gonzo share, the Seesaw provides more produce per delivery than the Staple, but 1/2 as often. The Seesaw best serves a more adventurous version of the Staple: young couples, single foodies, or busy but adventurous couples that want an exciting supplement to their eating. The portion sizes will be Gonzo, but you'll have twice as long to get through each. 8-12 items/wk. 13 distibutions spanning 26 weeks.

Worker Share: - The worker share option for LotFotL CSA offers a whole new level of participation with your food. Worker shares work on the farm or at the farm stands or for the farm in some other facet, in exchange for their food. Click here for the application to get things started. We invite you to call or email us with questions about the process or the program. There are many different options to help make worker sharing fit into your life and schedule. You can give as many as 104 hours and as little as 52 throughout our 26 wk season. We also try to create potential car pool opportunities for folks that would like to ride share. Although, we ask folks to have a relatively fixed schedule through out the season, we understand that things come up. We ask that you give us the same courtesy that you would give to your employer, giving adequate notice when you are sick and asking off in advance. After being accepted, you will be asked to attend and orientation before the start of the worker share season and begin work in May of 2012.

Goldilocks would love this CSA!

Over the past 5 years, I've had countless conversations with people that once were CSA members, but have given up. They've told me that they just can't get through all of the produce they receive, that the weekly burden of 16 items a week is simply too much for them to handle. What results is waste, both from produce composting in the crisper, and of the opportunity to bring another devoted family into CSA membership, supporting us farmers, and helping us to expand this food movement.

At LotFotL, we've listened. And in 2012, we're doing something about it. After two seasons of analyzing survey data, we've brought down our prices, scaled the largest end of our CSA shares down a bit in size, are diving deeper into growing basic crops, and have gotten a better lock on portion sizes. Not to worry variety lovers, we've got some curve balls to throw out there too. We seek for you the golden mean: not too much produce in a share, and not too little, not too many exotic items, but not so few that the eating becomes too pedestrian for the jet pilot cooks out there. This isn't the easy road to travel. If we looked at 16 items a week in CSA shares as only a positive thing, well, then dealing with the abundance in your kitchen, when the kids need to get picked up from school, you have homework to do and don't have time to cook, or when social obligations take you out of your normal kitchen time, that abundance becomes your problem alone, and ultimately something that might not make CSA work for you.

There's nothing wrong with giving out overly abundant shares, but if our hard labors rot in your crisper because we're giving you more than you can use, that doesn't do either of us any good. We're here to fix that, to partner with you in getting the right amount of food for you and the other eaters in your world, at a realistic price that allows us to live and continue what we do.
