Also, they know what grew best on their farm last year, and they should be rotating their crops yearly or every two years, so you wouldn't insist on tomatoes every year for five years, lest the soil wear out of the nutrients tomatoes need. Were we to apply this concept locally, we might go out to the vegetable farm once a month or so and actually direct the organic gardener, collect crops, etc. You've got me thinking about going into the farming business. It might be a great tax loss to shelter income from teaching for me, working as a Regitrar for you, practicing law, etc.<br />GRGerald Boschhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&id=100000562385890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852641055882664167.post-13675950366230114782010-01-14T02:12:29.182-08:002010-01-14T02:12:29.182-08:00Hey, this is one beautiful Idea, gives me another ...Hey, this is one beautiful Idea, gives me another direction to take my business in... you can follow me and my Red Wigglers on http://www.no1duzitbettaoutoverdafire.blogspot.comno1duzitbettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487400034242391005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852641055882664167.post-17341566645181353092010-01-11T21:44:55.882-08:002010-01-11T21:44:55.882-08:00Hi Julianna,

You don't tell them what to plant, but you basically buy a share in the farm (usually several sizes, like individual and family), and then you get a basket of veggies every week or two. I'm part of one here in TN and love it (CSA stands for community supported agriculture). My CSA is like $270 for an individual share (10 weeks of veggies) and 360 for the family share (15 weeks of veggies, you pick this one up every week instead of like bi-weekly). And then I did the Fall CSA too for 6 weeks for 175.00, so for $445 I got 6 months of veggies for me and the husband, which works out to like $74/mo. It sounds like what you found would work out about the same price.Annahttp://wayfaringartist.comnoreply@blogger.com
