Last year our garden flourished. We rarely shopped for groceries. All our fresh food came directly from our garden, supplemented by a local farmers market for new items we don't grow ourselves. Last year we put in an asparagus bed, more berries and an orchard. We stored much for the winter and are still eating off those stores!
I expect the garden to be even bigger and better this year. I decided to try selling a share of our garden. Some farms do this to help offset the early season costs and to have an established group of customers to provide for. While we are not a big farm we definitely have enough abundance to try doing the same with a couple other families.
We have once such family already signed up. This weekend we provided them with a "winter share"...a sampling of what is to come, a sampling of what we still have in our winter garden, root cellar and hen house.
