What Members Get Each Pickup
Each pickup = one large tote of winter veggies, self-serve from your CSA table.
You could roughly include:
5 lb carrots
3 lb potatoes
2 lb onions
1 head cabbage or 2 lb root mix (turnips/rutabaga)
2 lb sweet potatoes
1 lb mixed radishes (daikon/watermelon)
That’s roughly 14–15 lb of produce, retailing at $4–5 per lb for local, beyond-organic quality → $60–$70 value per pickup.
So members are essentially paying $57 and receiving $65+ value every time — a nice built-in feeling of abundance and reward.
