Custom Boxes!!??!!
Each week we'll pre-fill your account with ten items (a quart of carrots, or a pint of radishes is 1 item, as is a bunch of kale, a bag of spinach, or a winter squash). Once you've received the weekly contents email, you can go and remove and add items to your share. Don't like beets? No problem, get double carrots instead! Want extra kale? Just sacrifice that garlic you're not as into.
*** Some items will be limited to 1 per member, and not every item will be available each week of the share.
