It does seem like a big half share but it's nice that you get so much fruit.

There's lots of organic farms around Gainesville and points north. Annie could be buying from there.<br /><br />Laura, glad to hear that you enjoyed Annie's last year. Seems to recreate the CSA experience!

I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to miss my box this summer since I'm trying just the farmers market insteadkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462007067131792229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-67189587814683526192010-05-27T09:21:59.845-04:002010-05-27T09:21:59.845-04:00From this box, the squash, corn and blueberries ar...From this box, the squash, corn and blueberries are local. Just how local, Annie doesn't specify. <br /><br />It is quite a bit for a half share. I can barely keep up with a weekly CSA-sized half share; I can't imagine dealing with a box this size every week. The higher fruit percentage should be a help, though.billjachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260406336065905545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-8007957958285299502010-05-27T07:45:09.772-04:002010-05-27T07:45:09.772-04:00Bill, I used Annie's last year after our farmi...Bill, I used Annie's last year after our farming season finished and was really happy with the quality and amount of food in the shares. I found, for us, that to get the extra fruit share added on to be really good value. For the money, there is no way you could get that much organic food for the price at a retailer.<br /><br />Annie told me that she supports the local organic farmers here and buys pallets off of them. (obviously during season) <br /><br />I found the produce to be very fresh and one time enjoyed the sweetest, not bitter at all, Brussels sprouts. I am going to start with Annies again too.LaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-84455845183203331782010-05-27T00:19:24.170-04:002010-05-27T00:19:24.170-04:00That's a half share??
