Farm Share
Last spring we bought half a share in a local farm. For $300, we got to pick up fresh veggies, greens and herbs each Wednesday for 24 weeks. Many people are doing this, as it supports local farmers, and those who buy a share receive fresh and pesticide free vegetables. We also signed up to cut fresh flowers from the U-cut garden. Having a beautiful bouquet on one's table was such an added bonus. This add on was $60 which came to about $2.50 per bouquet. After a day's work in an office, getting to stroll through a huge flower garden, scissors in hand was most wonderful.

are you doing this again this year? we have been debating it. Has Christina told you about that local fruit/veggie organic thing she does, it sounded neat?!
How fun! I love that you can get flowers every week, too-- what a neat idea. The farms we get produce from here don't have that option, unfortunately; maybe I should try sticking the broccoli in a vase. :) I can't wait for the fresh spring vegetables to be ready!
Being part owners in a farm is a great idea! The flowers all year round is fantastic...I love having cut flowers in our home, but it is an extravagance that I only indulge in infrequently.
