CSA Farm Shares

Dustin1981

So I have been looking into buying a family share in a CSA Farm. I have found they range greatly in price depending on what you are getting. I was just wondering if anyone has looked into or has gotten into this. For anyone who is wondering what this is it is a farm that sells "shares" of the harvest. Some have things like veg. or fruit and some have meat and poultry. You can buy into organic farms and all. Then you pick your stuff up either at the farmers market that they sell at or the farm itself. It looks like a pretty good set up but you are taking the risk right along with the farmer. If they have a bad harvest so do you. But I think this is a great way to support local farming and a good way to insure good food since alot of them allow you to come out or even help out and work the farm with them. Any thoughts?

After reading this thread, my girlfriend and I signed up for one in our state. Fresh vegetables and supporting local farms = no brainer for us.
