This was my first year investing in a CSA and I have learned a lot. I learned that nothing is guaranteed and that investing in a CSA is just like investing in anything else. When the bounty is high, all benefit, and when it is low, all bear the weight. I have read all of the reviews on this site and I have to say that I am sorry for those who have limited budgets and this year didn't work out for them, but I am also disappointed in the wrath that they have chosen to rain down in their anger and disappointment. I have tried to grow my own vegetables in recent years with minimal success as hailstorms, hard rain, insects etc.always seem to get the best of me and they are ALWAYS threats in Colorado. That non-stop rains this Spring caused problems with Eli and Sarah's farming didn't surprise me one bit. Of course I had hoped for more, but reality is sometimes challenging. If these awesome people decide to brave the climate again, I'll be there. All of the produce I received was delicious!

Good food is not a right of those with high paying jobs. Good food is for everyone. Our family has plenty of budget and were able to replace the lost produce easily by shopping Crunchy Grocer and by growing some of our own (yes, this season, and yes after getting started late because our faith in a certain farmer turned out to be unfounded). That's beside the point. I've just not forgotten the people with the banged up autos who were at the farm stand at the same time as me. I will never forget the deception. This farm is still advertising shares. And they *know* they cannot fulfill their end of it. That's shameful. And that's what I'm most upset about. (Although them getting people to stand up for them seems kind of shameful as well, now I think about it.) Farmers Market, people: get what you pay for.
