The harvests this year in November and October have been abundant. Usually October is the month everything tapers off. Our warm fall has extended many of the crops.
We decided to see what the value of our boxes were compared to shopping at Whole Foods.
Since we had posted pictures for two weeks of boxes in October, we used these ones to compare.
You can see & download the full spreadsheet analysis at:
AVF CSA Box Value compared to Whole Foods
In summary our boxes delivered between 46% to 70% more food compared to Whole Foods for the same cost!
We hope you enjoy the overabundance!
