Date: 2006-11-23 03:01 pm (UTC)Basically: we paid the farmers about $500 in March or so and they give us a share of whatever they grow all year long.
It's good for farmers cause they get the money up front so don't take massive loans and they're not the ones shouldering all the risk.
It's good for people because we get bags full of tasty veggies that, should we really want to use them, force us to try new things (brussels for instance).
It's good for the community because it keeps local farms in business, 95% of them are organic (although often without certification) and it means you're eating quite close to home so your food isn't being trucked/shipped from Chile or somewhere else far away.
