Good Morning Gloucester 
I know! Seriously! We became members as we’re “foodies” thinking we would be able to enjoy these kinds of farm events – PRIOR to them posting the cost! They are apparently only for folks dripping in diamonds and misaligned values for placement of funds – because even this stogie-smoking, Apple Retina-coveting foodie can’t imagine placing my wallet down for this. I would rather feed 200+ starving children in some third-world country. (Rob says… or eat 175 donuts, mmm donuts.)
