[quote=Anonymous]CSAs are truly wonderful if you cook a lot, want a vegetable challenge, and want to be part of supporting sustainable agriculture in our area. If you decide you will cook with what the CSA gives you, and not buy other veggies elsewhere, it is pretty cost effective. But if you do a CSA plus shopping for little extras at the farmers market (or Giant) it will be much more expensive. I love my CSA (Gorman Farm in Laurel) and the quality is very good. Remember, though, that organic produce fresh from the field will look different than the food at Giant, and real organic food is not going to keep very long in your fridge, like the stuff from the supermarket does. Buying at the farmers market is fantastic - if that makes you happy, do it! CSAs are a bit of a niche for somewhat hard core food people...the farmers market is more accessible, and it is just as beneficial for the farmer.[/quote]
