We used a local CSA called JBG for several years. We stopped using them in early 2018; they don't have any pickup spots close to our house, and when B started working in the Woodlands, his long commute made it too hard for him to pick up at the closest place. Also the quality was kind of iffy, and at the point we canceled, we were getting something old or spoiled in almost every box. So we went without for awhile, but in late 2018 we signed up with a different CSA, L. L was problematic in terms of communication and delivery, and as time passed, we got less and less food. We like our diet to consist mostly of vegetables so LA was just too much money for the amount of food.
A friend of mine moved away and was kind enough to give us her last two shares. They have been great, and since B has a new job. we decided to sign up for the same CSA. This CSA is different from the other ones, in that we pay for the whole season up front. That's going to be a stretch, financially speaking, but we really really need this, so it's high-priority. This CSA also offers eggs and meat, and they have a pickup spot at our regular hangout (Slowpokes.) B doesn't want to do the meat share, he thinks it's too much meat for us and our freezer, but we are going to do the egg share.
Having a CSA just makes our lives so, so much easier! It makes meal planning easier, and it means we spend much less time shopping. And having lots of fresh vegetables in the house means we cook and eat what's in the house, instead of going to the grocery store hungry. When we have veggies around getting ready to spoil, we feel obligated to cook them.
