Flagstaff Community Supported Agriculture

By: Rosemarie Taylor-Perry (May 11, 2008)
The fruits and vegetables that come from Flagstaff CSA boxes are of exceptional quality. That said, quantity could face some improvements ("enough for a family of four for a week", the newsletter states; well, that family must be vegetable-phobic, because frankly there were not enough veggies to last my husband and myself three days, though we are admittedly vegetable addicts...)

I would also plead for more variety; there are only so many things one can do with three pounds of daikon radish per week and, depending upon one's digestive constitution, that might not include eating them all (they don't fare well in the composter, either -- most high-sulfur veggies don't, unfortunately.) My digestive system tends to dislike high-sulfur vegetables, regardless of the fact that they are good for me, and the thought of facing another four -- count them, four! -- weeks of lots of daikon and very little of anything else kept us from repeating the CSA experience, though we might do it again this year (memory can be a slippery thing, I know...)
