Tagge's CSA- Want to Join?

Hey Friends, I'm looking for at least 9 other people to do Tagge's CSA with me. http://www.taggesfamousfruit.com/csa.php

What is a CSA you ask?
From the Tagge's website:

CSA programs help local farmers by deferring their common early season farming costs. Over the years it’s been proven when both the farmer and the consumer anticipate each season’s harvest together, the overall success of the harvest is greatly increased. The result is more bountiful harvest at a lower cost to the consumer.

Here’s How It Works: As a CSA Share Holder you will receive a specially packed box of fresh fruits and vegetable each week, for 15 weeks. We will start the week of July 4th and continue until the week of October 10th, 2012. Boxes in July and early August will not have as many varieties of fruits and vegetables due to the Utah growing season, but in August and especially September your membership box will overflow with different varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables grown on our farm.

I did it last year and was really pleased.

What I liked:
-Local pickup
-Local grown fruits and vegetables
-Great overall value
-Feel good about helping out farmer's

What I didn't like:
-Have to pay all up front (but that is kind of the point)
-You don't know what you'll be getting (but that is kind of fun)

 Let me know if you have any questions!
