Very interesting that you would mention a web-based solution to solve some
of the administrative issues. That's almost verbatim what we'd come up
with here as a potential solution too. I haven't written such a web page
yet, and haven't even wrapped my brain around what all would need to be done
with such a web page, but it's nice to see someone else thinking along the same
lines. John, are you a programmer as well as grower? That's the
background I come from. I'd be game to collaborate with you on something
like this that we could share with other growers. Not sure if it's quite
as complicated as putting a man on the moon but it might be close.
Nevertheless I'd be game to try.

I think that article raises a number of valid issues with the CSA model. If you're dealing with a subscription/drop site model, it is likely more expensive to run than a similarly sized farmers market. But there are many benefits to cash flow and planning, and then the intangibles. |
