[quote=Anonymous]I'm tempted to do a CSA this year, but am having trouble figuring out what the cost difference is vs. buying seasonal produce at the grocery store. We're a family of four and eat almost all our meals at home, cooking from scratch. I use whatever's seasonal/on sale, so I'm not doing gazpacho in April or watermelon in January, nor am I wed to the same six vegetables all year round. I'm not averse to paying a bit more for things that are local, farmed responsibly and actually have a real person's work behind them. But I'm also not willing to pay a superpremium for what I think of as the "farmer's market halo" -- that crazy hypnosis that makes it seem perfectly normal to pay $11/lb. for tomatoes. If you've done a CSA in the past, have you been satisfied with the value received for the money? Would you recommend your CSA this year?[/quote]
