example shares

Picking a share size and season that works for you and your family can be an exciting part of CSA membership. Each growing season and share selection is unique, but we know a thing or two about seasonal availability in New Hampshire. Here are some example shares from past seasons to give you a better idea of what a typical share may look like. You can think about what your household eats in a given week, as well as what your favorite vegetables are, and finally how inclined you are to freeze/can/pickle/ferment/store vegetables when they are in abundance.
