Use Case: Maria Cátalán's Laughing Onion CSA

Maria Catalan is a CSA farmer I have been working with for around five years now, and her story is like many of those in the ALBA (Agriculture & Land-Based training Association) program. She works a 35-acre organic vegetable farm in Hollister CA and distributes her vegetables through farmer's markets, and a CSA that delivers to 28 different sites and has over 200 subscribers. She has a 3/4 growing season, taking winter off.

Maria and I have discussed her desire to have a website for a while, and I can outline her needs below:

1. The interface should be in both English and Spanish
2. She wants people to see where all the drop-off locations are
3. She would like people to view what is in the box from one week to the next, and to find recipes for what is in the box currently
4. Maria uses a newsletter that is both a few recipes and a short blurb about what has happened on the farm over the week. A way to do recipes as a collection and then let her just blog about activities on the farm would be helpful
5. Maria would like subscribers to sign up for subscriptions, check off where and when they would like their box to be delivered
6. Since she has a limit to the number of boxes she can distribute to each week, she needs a ceiling of maximum number of boxes per delivery date
7. She wants basic information about each vegetable, plus recipes for each veggie, so people know what dinosaur kale is and how to use it

That's pretty much it, mostly what we have all been talking about during the BOF. I hope we can get the ball rolling!
