Do you participate in a C.S.A. (community supported agriculture)? What has your experience been?

This was asked in 2010, but another Jelly just asked me about it in another thread, so I figured we could start a new conversation.

Community Supported Agriculture programs allow the public to invest in a farm, and the get a share of the crops. There are no guaranteed returns, however, since the farm is at the mercy of the elements.

We’ve been doing it since 2011, and we really like it. Unfortunately, we had a hard time making use of all the produce. We’ve found that farmers are getting more creative in how they structure the CSA.

Do you have any experience with a CSA? How are they structured near you? If you have any Questions for those of us who have participated, feel free to join the conversation!
