On the plus side, I liked that I was surprised weekly by what was in my box and finding ways to cook veggies I had never worked with before. What I didn't like about it was pretty much the same thing- I was often stuck with stuff I didn't feel like cooking, and I found there was a bit of waste. I decided to not do a CSA this year but instead frequent farmers markets and farm stands a few times a week to buy fresh produce I know I will use.; ▶ Reply to This
