I was picking up two shares on foot, and foolishly didn't bring a backpack, so everything was in handle bags. This meant that a couple of times I chose the lighter option, which was good, because twice this not optimally packaged was just about at the limit of what I could carry over a mile.

three pounds of carrots
a pound and a half of red onions
two Gilfeather rutabagas
a third of a pound of meslun mix
a bag of frozen halved peaches
two bags of mixed sprouts (looks like lentil and chickpea, possibly other things)
four dried hot peppers (cayenne?)
half a gallon of unpasteurized cider
half a pint (eight ounces) of maple syrup from Ripley Farm in Montague*
a choice of wild blueberry spread or blueberry-apple juice from Benson Place (I chose jam over juice for weight)*
a dozen eggs
five pounds of whole wheat flour or two pounds of buckwheat flour from Upinngil (I chose buckwheat, partly for weight, partly for novelty, since whole wheat flour is more easily acquired)

* Anyone want these?

This is the last pickup of the season, nothing more until June. I know I'll have to supplement with fresh produce, but it's going to be interesting to see how much, seeing how much I've put aside for the farm share hiatus. Pickles and chutney I likely have enough of (well, I can always use more chutney, but whatever), frozen things less so. Maybe next year I'll figure out how to pack the freezer more efficiently, to fit more fresh-frozen vegetables, rather than already processed stuff.
