I found them through the link that you posted.

Mine is a partial share (plenty for 2 people) and it's $240 for 10 weeks. My farmer also grows organic and I've had so much fun learning how to cook vegetables that I've never eaten before. http://allrecipes.com/ has been my go-to site

He has 16 drop off locations in the Houston area if anyone is interested.
