I was extremely disappointed in both the quality, quantity and variety. I chose Fresh and Local due to the proximity of the pick up site to where I live. I agree 100% with Rho's assessment.
Being raised on a farm i understand farm life and that weather and insects can be problematic part., but based on Allan's emails of trials and tribulations(great writer although a bit long), they were of Job proportion.
More than looking forward to the weekly vegetables (often of poor quality), i looked forward to what new problem would beset Allan.
A few examples I recall: the Mexican workers 'abandoned' Allan and returned home to Mexico, too much rain leading to rot &bugs, the truck got stuck in the mud, not enough rain and the irrigation pump broke, always needing volunteers to plant etc etc.
Oh yes, the CSA was suspended for at least one week.
