First timer looking for a weekly CSA box, any suggestions? (lemmy.ca)

For obvious reasons I'm trying to be more local and cutting out American produce, so I figured a CSA box (Community Supported Agriculture) would be a good move. Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo has given a bewildering collection of results and I've heard some CSAs are less good than others. Have any of you fine folks used any, have any recommendations or anything else that might help?

It depends on where you are because different farmer's markets have different farms for you to pick up your CSA. Last year we went with Klippers. We were picking it up in Downtown and then had to change to trout lake. It was fine, I regret getting the focaccia share though.

If I'd get CSA again, I would get from a different farm just to see how different it is, but we will take a break this year because it is a big commitment and you need to make sure you're always eating what you are getting.

I am pretty tired of eating Kohlrabi from last year. I think we got Kohlrabi every week for like 6 weeks or so.

Thanks for the heads up! I wonder if I can ask for "what did you give people.last year" or somesuch. Though, and I know this is a bad thing to say on reddit, LLMs have made me much more comfortable trying new ingredients/recipes.

Klippers had an image explaining which types of produce are available, I'll see if I can link it here

Edit: Found it!
