CSA

[bertine]

There is a CSA that drops at Gage. I really want to do it but gwangi isn't sure we would use it all. Also, it is $576, which is a lot but I am pretty sure we would eat a lot of fun stuff.

I wish we had a garden and wouldn't have to think about this stuff!

We did a CSA for a couple of years but we're giving up on it this year. It wasn't just that we didn't use it all - the first year we did a half-share so it wasn't a TON of stuff - it's also that you have NO idea what you'll get so you can't really plan ahead. You have to do the rest of the shopping/farmer's markets AFTER you get your CSA so that you don't double-up on stuff.

Plus the last two months ended up being nothing but a ton of different kind of squash.

I love the idea of a CSA but honestly I can get everything I was getting from them, and more, and in better quantities, at the farmer's market.

That is what Zach tells me but I love the idea of it! I am okay with the randomness of the food (it is fun!) but it might be too random.

We just don't go to the farmer's market enough. :\

You guys could always try it for a year and see how it goes. Can you do a half-share, or go in on one with a coworker?

Actually, I was just talking to one of my coworkers are she is willing to share a share with me.
