Casie,
We decided to organize our CSA so that our subscribers receive "5-20 pounds
per week". We weren't sure how to divide our personal use veggies - which we
can in enormous quantity for winter - with our shareholders. We devised this
poundage method and it seems to be working very well. Early baskets that are
mostly salad greens look very full, but only weigh 5-7 pounds. Mid-season
baskets sometimes bulge with 35 pounds, which is where the subscribers
benefit with extra bounty. But it allows us to set a limit so that we still
have enough to support our households for the winter if need be. The scales
are great for keeping track of our yeild on each different vegetable and on
the basket weights each week.
