From Bob Schulties, your About Today Editor

How to Shop at a Farmer's Market

Why You Should Join a CSA
My friend BigTall Mike is part of a CSA which provides him with produce all spring/summer long. He really should have another refrigerator for it all, because the fresh produce comes in like a tsunami and overwhelms his whole kitchen. Last time I was over, he offered me a pillow of celery and a pumpkin to rest my feet. CSA is where it's at!

I can't imagine being a farmer. Forget the stress of needing good weather, which is out of your control--you have to plant, harvest, sell ... and deal with me as your customer. Farmer: Hello, son. What can I get for you? Me: Do any of your vegetables have chocolate frosting? ... (crickets) Selling at a farmer's market.
