This is why I get a farm share (CSA), so I'm supporting the local farmer. I get the freshest produce, and they get a higher price than if they'd sold to a store.

    It's a great idea for people that have that available. I've looked into it but the one near me the box is so big for the 2 of us I don't think we'd ever be able to finish it!

    The farm owner is a bit of a jerk, but he's still a local jerk at least! 😝

    Any decent CSA that isn't having a terrible crop-failure year is going to overload you with produce. Even if they didn't there's a good chance that you'll get a boatload of one product all at once (e.g. "there's a heat wave next week so I harvested everything this week before it bolts, hope you like brassicas"). The key to getting the most out of your CSA is canning, freezing, dehydrating, and/or fermenting the bounty while you have it and slowly enjoying it all year long! Most CSAs only last a few months anyway, so it's a feature not a bug that they provide you with more food than you could possibly consume fresh.
