That was the outcome of an information and organizational meeting held recently at the Lucknow Town Hall. Pauli Sommer gave an overview of the CSA concept. She explained it was a new relationship between the producer and consumer where they shared the risk and the bounty of the harvest. Sharer families buy a share at the beginning of the season, giving the gardener money for expenses and their labour and as the vegetables arc ready, pick up their fresh organically grown vegetables once or twice a week throughout the growing season. Bob and Bcv Budd showed a video of the Huron Community Garden, located south of Godcrich where they arc the gardeners. This is its sixth year and it has grown to include 60 families from the Goderich area as sharers. The members get together for a couple of social events during the summer too, a corn roast and harvest supper.
