City Fresh

A couple of weeks ago we walked by what looked like a tiny farmers market on Coventry Road. We were curious so we stopped by. It was a City Fresh pick up location. I had heard of City Fresh before, but we did not sign up for it because we had a negative experience with a CSA last summer and the pick up time seemed inconvenient.

My opinion changed however when we took a look at what the share holders were receiving. Granted part of the bounty is due to time of year, but the variety was impressive. We were sold, purchased a full ($20) share and eagerly awaited the following week. The first week we received a yellow water melon, tomatoes, apples, garlic, potatoes and more. There was enough of a variety that it was easy to plan dinners around the produce. The produce itself was awesome, and we've never before gone through a week's allotment from a CSA so quickly. We made a stir fry, fajitas, fresh salsa and more--and everything turned out great.

So far we have purchased 2 shares and could not be happier. We love the variety that is available, and that it is not pay in full up front.

Does anyone else subscribe to a CSA? What has been your experience?
