Is anyone a member of one of these?
My mom's friend was a member, and she got so many extra vegetables she'd give some to us once in a while. At the time, I wasn't really sure what it was or how it worked, but now I'm interested. So anyone who's done this, please let me know:
1. Is it year-round, or seasonal, etc?
2. What's the pricing, how do you pay (if you don't want to say exactly how much, just if you pay by week or a yearly fee, and if it's cheaper/more expensive than what you'd spend at the grocery store/farmer's market).
3. What sort of goodies do you get?
4. How many people do you cook for with the food you get?
My concern is that doing this is kind of pricy (+$25/week), and although I'd probably get my money's worth in veggies, my family probably wouldn't be on board to help eat/cook them. I'm considering seeing if a friend would split the cost with me and we could divide the veggies up, but I'm also wondering if it'd just be cheaper/more economical to go to the farmer's market each week when it starts up.
