I’m seriously thinking about doing this. The link goes to my current top choice- it’d be $400 for 10 weeks or $240 for 6 weeks and I could pick up at the Green City Market.
Any thoughts or advice from people who do this in Chicago?

i loved having mine but was stressed about having too much produce a lot - you’ll probably end up giving 1/3 or so away if it’s just you… maybe split with your roommate or someone nearby?

we did a csa last year and weren’t too thrilled with it (not from the one you’re thinking of, though). the produce was great, but it was way overpriced and we had kohlrabi and jalapenos every single week.

I used tomato mountain, and they were great. They delivered to my door, which was really phenomenal. I did split the “small” share, however, with five friends. Tomato mountain also has a solo option. Pretty awesome, all around!

honestly - i did it thinking I would adore all the fresh veggies but in reality it was WAY too much produce and 2/3 of it went to waste (which totally stressed me out).

thelittlemermaid is working with a CSA, but I don’t think it’s this one. Whatever one it is, my roommate has also used for ~1.5 years, and LOVES.
