Question by TheGuy: Is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) the most cost effective way of getting organic vegetables and fruit?
I am thinking about purchasing a CSA share of seasonal vegetables, fruit, etc. The price for 1/2 share is roughly $ 350 for the summer ( and includes enough vegetables for 2 adults. I am wondering if this is the most cost effective way of getting organic vegetables as compared to getting them from the local grocery (Meijers, Krogers, etc)? If you have participated in a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program before, let me know of your experience and if you think it was cost effective.
