How do you like having the delivery service and do you find the cost vs. what you used to spend? |
I am SO happy with this CSA. I joined another one a couple of years ago, but it didn't meet my expectations. This one has already surpassed my expectations, and it's barely spring. Think of when tomatoes and squash come in -- joy! This is the one I'm in:

I pay a $25 fee for 6 months, then order as needed. I don't have to pay up front, so I usually just pay weekly, $15 for a quarter share. That's meant for one person, but it's quite a bit of food, even now. And it's a multi-farm CSA so I get a good selection. I highly recommend it if you have one near you! Did I spend $15 a week before on fresh veggies? No, probably not, but I spent that same amount on non-fresh, less nutritional stuff. It challenges me to try new things, too. And the pick-up point is at the Dept of Natural Resources office about 10 minutes from my house.
