Last year we joined High Mill Park's CSA. It was always entertaining to see the Peacock and other animals. Janee and the others were always nice and informative. The veggies and fruits were always tasty and fresh. The variety of heirloom and the unusual was great and we were able to try some new things. However, there was no rhyme nor reason to the share sizes so it was very sparse and inconsistent. There isn't much to do with 3 baby red potatoes and 6 string beans. Knowing how small the farm is I am not sure if it was an over sale of shares or just inexperience.I see this year they are joining with others so maybe that will not be an issue.Hopefully they offer a consistent size (bushel,half bushel, etc). We wish them well but have chosen to join a different CSA this year.

Thanks for the input. I am thinking of doing away with the half shares for that reason. They were intended for one person living on their own but a lot more people signed up for them because of the lower price. We learned a lot in our first year and hope to make our second year even better.
