Anyone involved with Community Supported Agriculture?

CSA? Urban Greening? I'm interested in learning more about it. Tell me stuff! :drinker:

I am, but the one I am involved with is a bit different from the original CSAs. I pay a $25 fee up front (sort of a deposit on the box the food is delivered in), then each week I can decide whether to order a box and I usually have a choice of 3-4 different boxes. I think this year they are going to offer the option for us to actually choose each item in the box, it used to be that the boxes offered had specific items and there was always something I didn't much care for. The good part is, I learned how to cook some items I have never tried before. The bad part is, I had to give away the stuff I didn't like or want to use (mostly things like collard greens, green peppers because I don't like them, and certain herbs that I don't normally use).

This is the one I use: http://theproducebox.com/how-it-works.php
