Default Vegetable sharing?

I found a site once, but lost it. The basic concept, is that you would buy a "share" in a 'basket' (or index if you like) of local framers output (ie. futures).

That share would entitle you to delivery of fresh vegetables every X days, each with a little bit of vegetables from each framer.

Anyone know what this site is?

I don't know of a site but there are lots of places like this. Many require work as well as a monetary contribution to get your share of the produce. I find alot of them rather pricey even with the guaranteed produce yield.

I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about, but it may help:
