Raiquee · October 20, 2015

Ever since I started growing more of our own food I've tossed around the idea of doing a SMALL CSA. I don't want a million people, but maybe a bi-weekly veggie and possibly egg gig. I'm not looking to get rich, but if it pays for any seed I need the following year I will be pleased.

I can easily get 10 people signed between family and coworkers.

How much space would I need would you gather? I currently have a 50x50 garden and would look at something similar in size for CSA. What is your pricing per share? I'm anticipating at least a paper grocery bag choked full. Minus big items obviously.

If you do CSA's what are your mostly raved about product? Your least? What are your pros and cons? What advice would you give me?

Thanks!

Ps- this isn't a next year thing. Thinking of maybe 2-3 years down the road.
