Reply to comment by painedperdu in Any good (hopefully affordable) CSA options for Spring-Summer? by localheroism

This sounds really good, the price doesn't look too bad either. Do you use them and if so what option did you go with?

Yes, I used them last year and it was great! Anything additional is 15% off as well. I went with the farmer's select half size option last year and again this year. They also have a "people's choice" option which is essentially a gift card to use anywhere they set up shop for 15% as well.

If I'm reading it right, the price of the half-size option would just be a one-time fee to cover all 13 weeks right? I may wind up going for it, the location is super convenient too

Yes, one time fee and you get to pick up a weekly box for the duration!

Hi I’m interested in this too! I looked at the website and was a little confused, so the “people’s choice” is just a down payment to get 15% off? Or do you get to choose a number of produce depending on your size csa?

Yes looks to be a down payment, but I like having the farmers choice so didn’t look too into it. Either way they’re great!

I use Shine as well, came here to say I really like them. I've used them the past two years, I did a full share my first year and a half share this past year.

This year I'm trying the people's choice for the first time, since I travel for work a lot and wouldn't be able to pick up a box every week. I was always pretty happy with the mix in my box, and enjoyed the discount if I wanted to supplement anything.
