I scheduled every Tuesday of last summer around picking up my veggies and it got to be too much. I'm debating a CSA that delivers in my area for a little more $$. Not ideal to have them trucking all over the city, but maybe the best solution? I could have written that.

It's all about courage. Actually reminds me of many sources in the Mishnah Brurah. Be good, oh courageous one! Wow… how inspirational. It’s all about courage.

Its Leah's mom. I was very relieved to hear that you have made this decision, as I struggled with it myself. Last summer I joined a CSA and overall, its wonderful. But we did not have good weather here last growing season, and many weeks my box of veggies was filled with things that were not of good quality (I should say that this farm is highly rated by local CSAers and this really wasn't their fault) I was also overwhelmed getting the same things week after week. I once had so many carrots, I just didn't know what to do with them! This summer I will go the Farmer's Market every week and be supportive of local farmers, but also have my choice of both quality and variety. Seems the Israel riders are doing great! Hope to see you over Labor Day. Carol Hi Daniella!

I love the journey that you're on, and am so proud of you that, even without the CSA, you are finding ways to "shop your values." I can't wait for farmer's market-fresh shabbat dinner at your house sometime this summer! D - I just want to say (from afar) that I loved this post.
