I just picked up my first week of fresh veggies. I signed up and prepaid for a 1/2 order that last 20 weeks. It averages out to $17.50 per week. I'm planning on keeping track of how much we get and what I would have paid for it in the store. I know this isn't completely fair since it is organic, but it will give me an idea of whether it is worth it or not. I'm pretty sure it will be worth it. So this is what we got and how much it would be at the store. Sometimes I may have to guesstimate.

• Rhubarb 2lbs @ $3.99/lb. .....$7.98
• Asperagus 1 1/2 lbs. @ $3.29/lb. .....$4.94
• Eggs 1/2doz @ $3.50/doz.......$1.25
• small bunch of green onions and leeks......$1.00 (guesstimate)
• Blueberry Jam 1/2 pint....$2.75

Grand total of: $17.92

Now this is just the beginning of the season. The chickens were not laying good this week because they moved them into another coop, so we should get at least a dozen per week. She also told me that come July, instead of taking one partially filled bag, we will probably have two filled bags.

They also had in our bag a sheet of paper with two recipes. I will probably try the one, "Asperagus and leek soup"", I hope they always have recipes for us to try out.

The jam was awesome, I'm hoping she will give me the recipe for this. I'm going to be getting a big box of blueberries within the next month and would love to make this jam.
