Hi Charles,Yes, it's a great concept -- commonly called a CSA or CommunitySupported Agriculture. The primary CSA serving Detroit and the northernsubs in Maple Creek Farm. They're great and please tell them I sent you.Danny and Michelle are the farmers and my house was their drop off sitein Detroit for years. They're great. You can find them atwww.maplecreekfarm.comI believe Tantre Farm from Ann Arbor also has a drop off site nearby atthe Zen Temple in Hamtramck. You can contact them for details athttp://www.detroitzencenter.org/contact.htmI hope you don't mind, but I'm copying this to the Sus. Det. listserv soothers can followup on this too, if they're interested.Jacob-- Jacob Stevens Corvidae Green Programs Manager jacob at warmtraining.org WARM Training Center Promoting Affordable, Sustainable Communities Since 1981 www.warmtraining.org 4835 Michigan Ave. Detroit, MI 48210 313.894.1030 x.119Tropical Green wrote:>Hi Jacob,>>Recently I was reading about buying shares in local farms for $800 and they deliver produce to your door for the rest of the year.  They were saying not having to sell their produce frees them up to spend more time on farming.  I can not remember where I saw the information on it.  Was it in one of the Sustainable Announce listings?  If not do you know of any family/local farms that are doing this?  (I think they were in Capac)>Thanks>Charles
