Is Community Supported Agriculture just for organic farmers, or can
others participate too?

Community Supported Ag originated (in part) to provide concerned blue state mothers with a source of food of a purity and nutritional value that exceeded what the market place was willing (or able!) to provide. CSA wouldn't be a good place to sell non-organic produce to that sort of clientele. There are workarounds appropriate to local economy and local culture, though. How about starting a SUBSCRIPTION VEGETABLE SERVICE in your town and calling it something like 'Mark's Poisoned Produce for Tots'? People do need options!

Check out www.csacenter.org to see what sort of competition you'd have, good buddy.
