For us, it's $350-450 for a 24-26 week season. Early on, the share is
small, herbs from their greenhouse and salad mix, but now it's getting
to be prolific, so the $15-20/week is not unreasonable for organic,
guaranteed-picked-that-day produce.

Plus there are wild raspberries growing along the edges of the field
that if you pick them they're yours.

There's other foragable greens if you know which weeds are edible.
