We paid $225 for the summer's supply of organic produce from the Bluebird Farm. Weights of each vegetable are recorded and the total equivalent price is calculated. The following website gives estimates of the price of each per pound. http://foodcoop.com/go.php?id=32
We receive a small box, rather than family size or large box, once every two weeks. This is about right for us as we look forward to the next box rather than stressing about how to use up what we haven't used. This week the total weight of our produce was 2.8 Kg or 6.24 lbs. Using the above reference, we calculate that we would have paid a total of $11.62 or about 5.2% of our total cost. With a summer length of about 10 boxes, we are on schedule to break even with our outlay.
Will report again in two weeks.
