Found this blog on Twitter and I love it so far — looking forward to reading more. I too love CSAs and I wrote a little about how joining a CSA helped me start eating way more fruit and veggies, one of the “tweaks” that has helped me lose 100 pounds and counting over the past five years.

We have a bunch of CSAs around here but I think it's more fun to shop at the farmer's market and get what we want. Nates last blog post..In Memoriam: Ryosuke Yoshioka, the Sushi Man of San Francisco

I don't know if we have any CSAs around here... but we have SPUD which delivers me organic produce once a week. It's a great service, and they give you a very nice variety! Jasons last blog post..A review of the ‘Colon Cleanse Pro’ Cleanse

Actually, I think the point is that it IS cost effective. But not for me, being a single person. Fortunately, we have a bunch of Farmer's Markets around here, probably one of the fanciest (and priciest) in the country, with prices similar to your expensive organic foods. This one attracts wealthy locals and wealthy tourists. The one I go to is the oldest in the country, and it is much cheaper, cheaper than your conventional grocery store prices. I spend around $40/week, including fruit, cheese, bread, and nuts. Surprisingly, hardly any goes to waste. Partly because I have awesome tupperwares that will keep stuff for two weeks in the fridge, and partly because I make a point to eat it. Of course, soup is the ultimate end for anything that needs using. Yummy produce, it tastes so good, better than candy. julies last blog post..Rain, rain go away

Nice post, Metroknow. I agree that the cost benefits are not that great for a CSA. You make a convincing argument for the reasoning to do so as well–that the health benefits, are another extraordinarily important reason.

I wish we had a local CSA. We do have a local farmer's market, however, and my wife and I try to make it down there on Saturdays. PaulsHealthBlog.coms last blog post..The Pops Won Best Multivitamin 2008!

Thanks for doing the math! I had already found a CSA and then started wondering if it was really cost-effective to join. You’ve just helped me make my final decision: Sign Me Up!
