The replies to this post have been good and detailed. I wonder about the
lower $ potential mentioned in one. While true enough, is the potential
really that much lower than, say, a farmer's market or farm stand operation,
when factoring in such items as travel to the farmer's market, crop failures
that obviously cannot be sold (all part of the "deal" in CSA) and so on.
Since we have only done CSA these are questions on which we have no data for
comparison.

I am curious what people know or have experienced with CSAs.  The benifits,
drawbacks, and how to get started would be great!  Thanks for the help.
