While my wife is super-excited about this CSA thing, I thought I needed to bring a little balance to the table. While the project is nifty, and the idea is pretty cool, I have to question the overall value of the product.
If you are a socially-conscious, shop-local, community advocate, then, yes, it is well worth the cost. If you prefer organic farming, then yes, it is worth it.
If you are a bottom-line guy (like me), then it becomes questionable. Furthermore, it seems to me that week after week I'm getting the same stuff in my box with little variety. The stuff I'm getting is high-quality, but strikes me as monotonous.
Not to mention, I'm kinda annoyed at having to go pick up the box every Wednesday.
I do wish D & A success, though, and if organically grown fresh produce every week is up your alley, then give it a shot. read more
