Eliza,
We did the CSA across from Glassworks for two years back when they were just getting started (and I worked at 2nd and Market). We were very happy with the quality /selection (field grown flowers and mint at derby were an additional nice touch). I believe they have expanded significantly since then. The only reason we stopped was that neither of us was working downtown anymore, and driving to pick-up turned into a major logistical problem.
As with all CSA's you will end up with a large quantity of things you might not normally buy - ie tons of kale and collards in spring - but personally I find that to be great challenge to find new recipes. Really liked the people!
Thanks for the reminder that it's that time of year again. We may re-subscribe as I'm now working downtown again (but I'll miss the farmer's market). If you have them, could you post the links for the two CSAs you are looking into?
Thanks,
Deb
