Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

  Anyone have experience with one of these? I guess there are a ton of participating farms in Ohio. Thinking about getting involved with one in Massachusetts b/c though it's a little more expensive for the produce, it's local and seasonal.
  
  Any stories, thoughts? I would imagine it depends a lot on where you're getting the food from, but generally, has it worked with your lifestyle or has it been a struggle? Or is this all just a little too granola-crunchy?

  Here's a list of farms in Ohio:

  Buying from local farms, basically, you purchase a "share" and get a certain amount of harvest on a weekly or bi-weekly basis (or if you're doing it for meat/fish, a monthly basis). Usually you go pick it up at a farmer's market but some offer delivery.
