At Sweeter Song Farm, farmer Jim keeps great records and we share all our production and financial information yearly with our shareholders.  During the pickup season, we record each week's produce offerings and their worth.  Last season we were able to distribute over 230 pounds of food worth approximately $575 to each shareholder.  Here are some examples of produce and fruit given out at various times during the 2010 season.

 

In addition, we offer our members the option of buying additional produce if they need extras for the week's events.
