When you become shareholder in the Small Potatoes Farm CSA, you
purchase a "share" of the farm's seasonal harvest. Shares are sized to
accommodate the needs of a four-person family, or two adult vegetarians.
Our weekly CSA share is a mix of the freshest picks that week on the farm.
Regular Share
Last season a regular 2007 CSA share began the last week of May with a
delivery of asparagus, rhubarb, chives and green onions. Other crops
delivered throughout the season included: arugula, lettuces, kales, collards,
chard, various summer squashes, various types of carrots, a variety of
potatoes, garlics, garlic scapes, shallots, tomatoes, cilantro, sweet peppers,
winter squashes, green and filet beans, snow peas, broccoli, basil, annual
and perennial onions, various beets, radishes, and a few other odds and
ends. Our cucumber and spinach crops were a failure. The season ended
the last week of September, about 19 deliveries.
Extended Share
We can extend the season for about half our regular share members, adding
another 4- 6 weeks with late fall crops. A typical delivery during the
extended share was broccoli, carrots, beets, potatoes, garlic, winter squash,
green onions, and kale.
Greens Share * New
New in 2008 we will offer a greens share - a braising greens share. Our
members fall into two main camps on braising greens - one camp that really
loves to cook with them and one that doesn't care much for them. The result
will be an affordable 'greens share' option to receive about 15 consecutive
weeks of greens starting about mid-June. This will include chard, kales,
collards, beet greens, turnip greens, mustard and a couple experiments. For
the regular and extended shares we will still deliver greens, occasionally.

After compiling our surveys and having conversations with our 2007 CSA
members we will be trying to modify our overall crop production in the
following way:
