Hi all--

I'm thinking of trying to find a good farm share kind of thing where I get a delicious box of produce every week or so. Recommendations?

Thanks!

Yeah, it's dealing with stuff I may not know much about - in vast quantities all at once - that's nervous-making. I'm used to buying most of my produce from farmers' markets during the summer, but I had a little more choice about what, and how much, I was going to get! Fortunately, I like garlic.

If there's stuff you're unfamiliar with, it's worth asking the farmer (or whoever does the distribution). I've learned a bunch of things that way. Some farms also have newsletters including information about unusual produce.
