Why are certain fruits available off the truck but not in my share?
This is simply due to supply and demand. Sometimes we do not have enough of a certain kind of fruit to give everyone some. This is frequently the case with red raspberries. Therefore, fruits that aren't plentiful enough to go around are offered for sale on a first come, first serve basis. We could sell every berry or peach we have to the best restaurants in Nashville for 25% more than the CSA customers pay but we offer them to the CSAs first because we feel a loyalty toward this customer segment. Fruit is very expensive... our farmers don't sell to us exclusively... they sell to others as well and we have to pay the going market rate for produce. We try and make sure that most every week everyone at least gets some kind of fruit.
