Small Box = ½ bushel box.  A “standard” share contains ¼ bushel of produce, so the box should be about half full of produce.

Large Box = 11/9 bushel box.  A “family” share contains ½ bushel of produce, so the box should be a little less than half full of produce.  The family share will have a little more variety than a standard share.

Extra space is left in the box for: packing large items like melons in the tub as they take up more than their fare share of space, placing a certain "value" we put in the tub and that effects the volume a bit... the bushel promises are approximate.  Also, there is room for exceptional harvest.

The meat and eggs that are included in some shares

We wanted to leave room for a few extras people might want to order

Produce can't be mashed in the tubs... fresh, ripe food is fragile... also, the food "settles" naturally in shipment
