First I guess I should out mylesf as the subject of BoogieDowner’s criticism. (What a great feeling!)As Jordan mentioned, we were supposed to receive half of a local organic free range chicken with this share, but there was a mix-up at the farm. Also, this is the Winter Share which we recommend only for hard core foodies who really want to keep getting local organic produce directly from a farm even outside of the main growing season in the Northeast. I would agree that eating this way in in the winter is more expensive than in the summer and fall. More than 75 families participated in our main summer/fall share this year. Our summer CSA is actually one of the least expensive in the NYC region. BD wouldn’t know about this because they only did the Winter Share. I would not argue with them if they were only criticizing the winter share, but they seem to be on a mission to disparage the entire CSA operation. Finally, please do not judge for others what is a “wise investment” in food purchasing. Yes, the CSA model is definitely not for everyone, but some of us put real value on supporting small local organic family farms, and on eating food that we can go see where and how it’s grown.
