This is a big list of questions! I heartily recommend Elizabeth Henderson's
book "Sharing the Harvest" which is a guide to CSA that covers lots of
topics and shows different options on many of them. Easily available Chelsea
Green publication. Each of the questions below would make a nice topic for
conversation of the CSA list--so as not to "bore" our fellow farmers on this
list :>).
