A little about our CSA

We love our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Spiral Path Farm. We pay a lump sum in the spring and for 6 months we are loaded with fresh, organic produce. They deliver to our farmers market which is just across the street from our condo on Saturday mornings. It's super convenient and fills our fridge with fresh produce. Besides the convenience, we chose our CSA because they include vegetables that we eat anyway. I've heard so many horror stories about CSAs that are full of produce that you've never heard of and it just leaves you scrambling and probably wasting food. We rarely throw out our food with this CSA.

We get the full share and split it with another couple. The cost is about $360 and that's where I get the estimate of $2 per day for CSA veggies. Amazingly cheap for most of the produce that we eat in a week. I wish they offered a fruit share. It's my only complaint. They offer an apple share, but that's not enough variety for me. We eat a lot of fruit, especially Doris.
