The Post has an article on CSA, part of a series. The writer is having to cook and juggle recipes to make use of vegetables she's not familiar with. Another problem is illustrated by a post on my local freecycle board (for those not familiar, freecycle is a neighbor swap meet on the Internet--you post what you want to give away or what you want and much of the time you can get a match, at least that's my experience. Google freecycle.org for more info.) The offeror apparently was going to be out of town so wanted to give away her weekly delivery.
Point being--there's tradeoffs for CSA customers--you get the freshest vegetables, but there's overhead and rigidity--you lose the flexibility of deciding on the spur of the moment to buy something from the local supermarket.
