Farm Share
A competing Cleveland business that also collects and sells local food from "farm to firm" is FarmShare, started by Kari Moore in 2008, that delivers Thursday afternoons to Tower City. They provide local (50-100 miles from greater Cleavland) Certified Organic, sustainable and conventionally farmed produce on a partial or full season (this year is June 18 to Nov 12) basis. You get an attractive tote bag full of fruits, vegetables - and sometimes special items like honey - for one to two people plus a loaf of artisan bread and a newsletter.

Fresh Fork
Fresh Fork is, like City Fresh, a pseudo-CSA organization. As a consumer, you can sign up for a season-long share, or there is an a la carte option where you can order whatever, in whatever way you want. They also have $30 trial shares that vary week to week, which are a set of products that resemble something you would get if you signed up for the full season. All the signing up is done in order forms on their website.

City Fresh
City Fresh is an example of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) company, although an unusual one. A CSA, as it says on their site, is "a form of cooperative purchasing in which a group of neighbors purchase a share of produce from a local farmer. The farmer receives payment upfront in exchange for a bounty of produce throughout the growing season. This is a form of “community supported agriculture” in which a group of people support a local farmer or group of local farmers by committing a portion of their weekly food budget to supporting that farm."
