Came across this article which may help anyone wanting to get into market gardening and have other people pay for all your hard work with shares of the crops: CSA

There is a farm doing it locally. The created a flyer and have it at the local feed store. The flyer gives complete details on what a "crop sharer" might expect. One can only pray that the farmer has a very successful crop. There is also a local store, North Country Market, that sells produce and items all grown and made locally on consignment. That's where I get my raw honey and PMS (pure maple syrup.)
