Community Supported Agriculture

We've recently been discussing the option of a membership to a local CSA farm. I love the idea of getting a box of fruits and vegetables directly from a local farmer instead of supporting the megafarms. Unfortunately the whole process has been rather discouraging as each time we talk with a CSA farmer, okay it was only two different ones, they said they had waiting lists. I got on the kcfoodcircle website and it looks like there is a minigathering on march 24 where various CSA folks will be trying to get new members. I'm hoping to go but and afraid everyone will have waiting lists for this next season. Check out the posted link to the food circle if you're interested.

I also appreciate how this ties in with the Slow Food movement which is attempting to counter the fast food movement.
