I was guessing LCB farm in AdMo. For many years before this year their prices were far less than at any other market. This year it's been closer to the pricier farmers markets. Next time I see the owner, I'll ask why, but I assume it's related to the price of everything else going up.

No, it's not Twin Springs.
Is it New Morning Farm? I assume yes because of what you’ve said about their business and your location. I see both of the owners there regularly.

My family does Lancaster Farms and it is very reasonably priced for the the amount of great produce you get. It's a co-op as well so your risk is lower than if you do it through a single farm that may have issues should something happen during the season.
This week we got 3 large bell peppers, two huge heirloom tomatoes, 5 full sized carrots, a large head of red cabbage, and a hefty bag of green beans. You pay upfront for the season but it comes to like $20/week (for the size we get at least). I'd pay way easily 1.5x or 2x for the same stuff at the Dupont famers market. It's also really fun to get different stuff each week. I've learned a lot about vegetables I never knew existed because of it.
+1 on finding a CSA. Not taking anymore customers for the season but for future reference, Jones Road Farm is a good one.
