You are asking great questions. I should wr...Sue,<br /><br />You are asking great questions. I should write a blog post about how I decided to join our current CSA. If the farm you found has a farm stand, try visiting during this year's growing season to see what types of vegetables they grow and whether you like the types and variety. You could also contact the farm and ask them what types of items you might find in your weekly share. <br /><br />One criteria I had for our CSA was that they offer eggs and fruit. Our farm collaborates with another farm for the fruit. <br /><br />Don't be afraid to ask questions. Great comment and questions, Sue!Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07880345569309987082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5735927066598393455.post-3645521678862049952011-03-01T18:05:42.003-08:002011-03-01T18:05:42.003-08:00After spending time with you over the past summer ...After spending time with you over the past summer and tasting your wonderful cooking with the fresh foods I could not agree more. I did check the website out as you suggested to see if there was a local farm around here and sure enough there was. However I found it to be expensive at least for me. Yet I find myself wondering if in the long run I spend just as much for produce for the season and just do not realize it. My other worry or thought is that would we use all the items in the share that is given to us. It seems like when I buy produce at the store, I find myself not using all that up. (however my goal is not to throw anything more out). I would love to be able to get "new" items and try them. The plus part to this is that my family is always eager to try new things. <br /> I also agree in supporting small businesses in my area and this is another reason that this peaks my interest. So I will have to put some thought into this.Aunt Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475332598623446917noreply@blogger.com
