What Types of Shares
Eener’s Farm Offers and How Much They Cost:
The Full Share – $515
- This share is delivered weekly for 18 weeks and includes a nice variety
of fresh produce, some herbs and occasionally flowers. It is packed in a 1 1/9
bushel box (the boxes are 18”X12”X12” in case you were wondering). These weigh
about five pounds early in the season and then get up to about 30 pounds later
in the season. I estimate (this is just an estimate now, I don’t know how you
really eat) that this share could feed two serious vegetarians or a family of
four.
Special note to alumni
members: We will no longer be including eggs in the full share boxes. Feed
costs are simply too high to swing that anymore. We do now offer an egg share
and will have them A La Carte.
The Half Share - $275
– This share is also delivered weekly for 18 weeks and also includes a nice
variety of fresh produce, some herbs and occasionally flowers. It is packed in
a 5/9 bushel box (these boxes are 15”X12”X8”). These weigh perhaps 3-4 pounds
early on and get up to maybe 20 pounds at their absolute heaviest later on in
the season. I estimate (remember now…just an estimate) that these could feed
two adults or one serious vegetarian.
The Monthly - $300 –
This is a new type of share that we are offering for the first time, there is
limited availability. These will be delivered monthly (hence the name). They
will include a selection of grass-fed beef cuts (ground beef, steaks and
roasts) and fresh produce, some herbs and occasional flowers packed in a 1 1/9
bushel box. If you live in Stillwater or Hudson they will be delivered to your
home. If you live in St. Paul or elsewhere, we will meet you at Hampden Park. The
deliveries will happen the second Saturday of each month May through October.
The Egg Share - $63 –
This also a new type of share that we are offering for the first time, there is
extremely limited availability. One dozen eggs will be packed into your CSA box
(this is only for folks who buy either The Full Share or The Half Share) each
week of the CSA season.
A La Carte – Each
month all year round we deliver grass-fed meats (beef, goat, sheep) to many
areas in the metro. We also sell our delicious eggs laid by our free-range and
organically fed chicken ladies. Folks who are interested in this simply e-mail
their orders to me and we drop off what they ordered. This happens the second
Saturday of each month. You can find out prices and availability by getting on
the e-mail list (e-mails are sent out once per month about a week before the
delivery, e-mail me if you want to be on this list eenermachine@gmail.com).
What’s in a Share:
The Full Share and
The Half Share:

of vegetables including:
Standard Garden Classics:
Green Beans, Broccoli, Carrots, Sweet Corn, Cucumbers, Kale, Lettuce, Onions, Peas,
Peppers, Potatoes, Pumpkins, Spinach, Summer Squash, Winter Squash, Tomatoes
(big red ones, cherries, romas and some heirlooms),

Sprouts, Cabbage, Radishes, Cauliflower, Celery, Swiss Chard, Edamame,
Eggplant, Hot Peppers, Rutabaga, Turnips
The Pretty Weird But Fun
To Try: Yard Long Beans, Shelling Beans, Kohlrabi, Tomatillo.
Fruit: Cantaloupe,
Watermelon, Rhubarb. Full shares may or may not receive strawberries and
raspberries on a small scale.
Herbs: Basil,
Cilantro, Dill, Fennel, Garlic and Parsley is what I’m shooting for but others
may happen too.
Flowers: Zinnias
for sure, others possible.
Kits: These are
really fun! I pack up in one bag enough ingredients to make a specific thing (recipe
included). Stir Fry Kit (enough carrots, kale, green onions and garlic to make
a batch of stir fry). Pickle Kit (enough cucumbers, garlic and dill to make a
batch of refrigerator pickles). Salsa Kit (enough tomatoes, peppers, cilantro
and garlic to make a batch of salsa). Stew Kit (enough spuds and root veggies
to make a batch of vegetable stew).
The Monthly –
Each month you’ll get an amount of produce similar to what The Full Share
receives in one week. On the beef side of things you will get two to four
pounds of ground beef each month. Additionally, during the grilling season (May
to July) we’ll run two to four steaks each month. Later in the season we’ll
deliver one or two roasts probably a soup bone and some stew meat (August
to October).
The Egg Share –
One dozen eggs straight from our chicken ladies to your CSA box for the 18 week
season. Our ladies lay white, brown and green eggs of varying sizes.
