Fair Shares CCSA (Combined CSA)

After belonging to another farm share in the St. Louis, MO area for two years, which I loved - and which later stopped offering a CSA, I didn't realize how much variety I was missing. Fair Shares has filled that gap, every week I get meat, plenty of vegetables, fruit often, and some sort of grain - getting to try food from local artisans is fun and makes me feel like part of the local food community. Our family does the full share which is a weekly pick up and it's the perfect amount (2 adults, 3 young kids) - I do freeze the occasional abundance of tomatoes but we go through the rest of the food. I can also buy additional items at my weekly pick up and order milk from a local dairy farm. Overall I really enjoy the CSA, my only negative comment is that the pick up time at the Kirkwood remote site is rather limited, from 4:15-6pm, and sometimes that's hard to make for a working mom but I do appreciate that they have a remote site close to home.
