I have significantly decreased my can usage and re-vamped my pantry eliminating an entire shelf used previously for cans!!

I realized when we signed up that we accept some risk, we live near Nashville and just had massive flooding, our CSA lost almost all of their Chickens so we are not getting very much Chicken right now, of course.

I read a lot of positive and negative comments from people about it. My husband and I ultimately decided to try it. We are on week 2 now, will pick up the 3rd week's amount on Saturday. So far, we have been very pleased. We get about 10 lbs each week and have been told that in the summer to expect more like 15 lbs.
