I wanted to direct your question over to Trace Ramsey at <a href="http://cricketbread.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">Cricketbread.com</a>, but I saw that you already posted the question there. I am going to do some research and see what I can come up with. In the mean time, I hope you will write back on this site if you find anything. -R Dear Chris and Melinda,

We're covered up thru then, and of course there's the farmers' market, but the weekly box has really become something to look forward to. Thanks very much for any info.

Of course, these particular students benefit from having Michael Pollan as a professor (he of "The Omnivore's Dilemma" fame).

Mindy and I have purchased weekly produce boxes the last 3 years. The idea is simple: In about January or February, you cough up a couple hundred dollars. In April through July, boxes of fruits and vegetables become available on a weekly basis, usually at a pre-determined location for pick-up. The produce changes weekly, depending on what's available at that time. Trust me when I say you will be delighted at the choices, and you will most likely try something new. One such CSA is Black River Organic Farm, for which Rachel has supplied a link. This is an easy and tasty way to become a locavore, at least for a few months. Watch this space for information about CSA's available in our area. And don’t forget that several local farmers offer Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) in the spring and summer.
