I was in a co-op, which worked better for me.

 

For CSA you take what they give you, and that's usually not much

fruit, which is the majority of my diet. You do not have much

choice, if any at all, on what you get, it's whatever is in season.

Get a sample list of what you will get each season, or a list of

what they grow, then you will have more of an idea what to expect

from your share.

 

I found that talking with your local health food store, distributor

or farmer works great, you get a much better price and usually

better quality. The co-op I belonged to in CT ordered mostly from

the local distributor, the health food stores that had the same

distributor had much lower quality, also this particular co-op

ordered from the local farms, the more you order the lower the price.

 

Local harvest is also a great website for local farms, health foods

stores, restaurants, events and more.

My experience matches Lori's, but I have known people who were very happy

with a CSA. For me, though, the lack of fruit and overabundance of

vegetables did not serve me well. Also, I eat about 100 times the fruit they

bring, so the value isn't really there for me.

 

Best to all,
