What is a Share?

“A Share”is the term we use for the box of fresh, certified organic produce you will receive, weekly or biweekly, from Plan B once you subscribe to our CSA program.

“A Season” is the length of time you will receive the “share” you subscribed for. We divide up the calendar year into 3 “seasons” to simplify ordering and because we have different types of “shares” different times of the year.
