A word of caution -- you might want to be a little careful about
distributing your shares at a farmers market. I found that shareholders sometimes want
an explanation when they see stuff your selling at the market is not included
in their share boxes. You try to keep everything even-up, but in the thick of
the summer battle sometimes it's hard to give everybody some of everything.
At the market, you often don't have enough time to do a lot of talking to
people who aren't your immediate, cash-laden customers.

We are starting a CSA (small) for the first time this year. We are getting
good response and are excited to get going.
I have a question for those that distribute CSA shares at the markets
they attend. What methods do you use to pack the share? We are debating
the merits of packaging it up prior to the market versus packing from our
typical coolers when the subscriber comes to pickup their share.
If packed ahead of time what do you use? boxes? bags? from where ?
boxes seem pricey but pack/stack easier.
How do you deal with keeping things cool if packed ahead for those
subscribers who come to pickup towards the end of the market.
Thanks in advance!
Frank
