[quote=Anonymous]I LOVE fresh vegetables, but I wouldn't join this kind of program.  Because:

1.  I grow my own lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, kale, spinach, chard, and a few other things.  You know, the stuff that would be most common in a local "farm fresh" program.
2.  I'm out in the local farm country a couple times a month visiting family, where we get most of our other vegetables spring/summer/fall.  Broccoli, asparagus, squash, peppers, beans, beets, peas ..... Plus eggs and frozen meat.
3. Between those visits, or to supplement, I visit farmers markets.  I like seeing the vegetables before I decide what to purchase.
4. Once in a blue moon, if #1-3 have fallen short, I'll add produce to my SMC order.  They are delivering to my house anyway (I get their milk weekly), so it's easy enough to add produce.
5. I only buy produce at the store for variety beyond what is grown locally (or is out of season here).  If you can grow it here, I already have a "farm fresh" source.

Your program does sound like a nice idea, but it's not for me.  Good luck![/quote]
