CSA: Burr Oak Produce

At Burr Oak produce A Natures’ Way Farms we strive to provide a flexible approach to CSA. As such, we provide two different CSA programs; an On-farm pick-up program provides you the ability to choose your produce, and drop-site pick-up you have a convenient place to receive your produce.  With either program you get the same fresh and delicious, locally-grown nutritionally packed healthy food.  Drop-site Pick-up Our drop-site program utilizes a standard 1/2 bushel box. We’ve found it holds approximately the equivalent of two on-farm pick-up shares, or enough for two to three people depending on your particular eating habits. To understand how much food this is please refer to the on-farm pick-up section on our website   On-farm Pick-up With on-farm pick-up we sell the produce by individual shares. A single person buys one share. A couple would purchase two shares. A family of four gets four shares. Each week you will have a variety of produce to choose from. Generally there will be several different items. From these items each half-share or full-share will take home between 6 to 12 items. Some items will be matched with others – e.g. 1 head of broccoli or 2 kohlrabi – so for each share you will have to choose which one to take.  The following are a couple examples from averages a few years ago. Last year the share sizes were double in size, however, only the year before they were a little smaller.   The new section I have added to the website " WHAT'S In The Bag ? " indicates what you can expect for the upcoming week or weeks in your shares. To help you plan your meals.
