That depends on how much you like vegetables and fruits, how many more of these you would eat if they were readily available, and how many people will be eating from one share. Remember, at $20/week, a share will not be a complete diet for anyone. If there are one or two of you in your household who really enjoy vegetables and fruit, and eat them regularly, one basic share could suffice for your weekly needs. Members of the Brackett CSA are welcome to supplement their share(s) by purchasing extra produce separately at pick-up time, when it is available.
If there are three or more of you, and you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, you might consider buying two basic shares.
Members and the general public are also invited to the Brackett Farm booth at the Lincoln Square Farmers Market in Urbana.
