CSA (community supported agriculture)

MsFargo

Anyone belong to a CSA? I do and my first box should arrive during the first full week of June. I will then get a box of produce through the summer and the season will end somewhere around mid-October (assuming the weather holds and there are no natural disasters).

I found that the CSA food is no more expensive than buying produce at the local grocery store...it tastes better....and I "get" to try things I would not otherwise purchase. They have also teamed up with a local market to sell select organic fruit!

I love mine! Ours is luckily year round (they trade with others up and down the west coast) and I just build it into my grocery budget. Crazily enough, I usually have to buy MORE fruits and veg than what they send, since we have a tendency to eat through our box quickly (except potatoes, oddly enough).
