ALL SOLD OUT! We too had glorious visions of trotting home, arms full of gorgeous colorful vegetables. Of making vegetarian dinners for friends and eating on the rooftop, loving our local fair veggies. But NO! Not this year it seems. Anyone know of a Brooklyn or East/West Village CSA that is not sold out?? My roommate and I were so excited to join a CSA this season, and last week he emailed a few in the area, but NO!!

Our group at first had a bit of trouble recruiting the minimum number of share members. True to form, however, there were those who waited until the last minute to sign up and were no longer able to join. Maybe next year...

As of today, my CSA is not signing up new members for at least another month! This has happened every month since the season began...and I don't remember it happening once last year.

This is the first time ever our farm has sold out of shares. Our farm's CSA goes year-round, so there is a waiting list for when people drop out. Last year it didn’t happen at all!

I wish I'd followed your lead, Debby. :) I heard about your farmer selling out Alix - that didn't happen so quickly last year, right? You're lucky Ketzirah Carly! What does that mean your husband does deliveries...does your CSA deliver directly to members' homes? Sorry to hear that Jessica - though I like your silver lining of planting more.

Sad me will have to just shlep to local farmers' markets and hope for the best. Also, maybe it will give me that extra nudge to plant things. I got shut out too :(

We were in the midst of signing people up for Tuv Ha'Aretz, when we got word that they were full. We had to stop at 19 members. Our partner farm in Berkeley is sold out of shares as well.
