What’s in a CSA box?

Owosso Organics 2016 CSA Question

What’s in a box/ How much produce comes with my share?

This is an excellent question and one that I get frequently. Basically the broad sweep of an answer is that a Standard Share is designed to feed a family of two for the week with the expectation that your family will finish (more or less) the box and be ready for your next box. A Premium Share is designed for a family of four (or a vegetarian family of two) again with enough veggies to sustain you for the week and be ready for your box. We track the cost of your box each week both in an effort to give you your moneys worth (plus about 15%-20% depending on the season) and just as important not to give you so much that you can’t finish the veggies and are possibly burdened with the guilt of wasting veggies, which of course nobody likes. So how much is that?

Here are some pictures of what you might expect from a Standard size share. These are from the last years 2015 season, followed by pics from the 2014 season if you continue to scroll down.

One thought on “What’s in a CSA box?”

  1. Moved from California to my folks in owosso to care for father….culture shock. Hard not having big organic store with all my needs
