Well, the veggies/fruits in this CSA are a "surprise box" in that it contains whatever the local farms harvest in that particular week, plus occasional baked goods/grains/honey/eggs/whatever from other companies that use local and organic ingredients. Having said that, you do fill out a survey ahead of time with your likes and dislikes, and they will try not to fill your box with something that you absolutely hate. This is my first time with a multiple farm CSA, and I think I'm going to like it better than the kind I was in before. It looks like later in the year I'm going to have a wonderful variety of vegetables. I can't wait for the heirloom tomatoes!
(And desertblues, although they are offering a fruit add-on right now with 8 different fruits that are NOT in season here, they tell you that up front. Some people really wanted to have fruit available thru the holidays, even if not locally sourced. Other than that, this is all local and seasonal stuff.)
