Daughter of CSA

Community-supported agriculture is where you buy a share in a nearby farm or group of farms, and every X time interval they bring you - whatever they've got. So sometimes you're buried in Swiss chard, other times you're bombarded with unfamiliar squash, and sometimes there's just not anything you like or aren't allergic to.

Enter Daughter of CSA. (CSAlly?) Would folks here be interested in meeting at, say, Diesel, on, say, Tuesday evenings, to sell your CSA excess to folks like me who have no cars and don't have big enough families to warrant buying a full share? Wouldn't have to be just CSA members, of course; if your back yard has been taken over by tomatoes or zucchini, I'm-a there, paysan.

Anyway, if I get enough nibbles, I'll start a separate community so sellers can post what they're bringing & find out whether any buyers are planning to show up, etc.

The extra-friendly church on College Ave there might be willing to offer a space for this kind of thing, especially if leftovers were donated to Food For Free or something...

Which of the five churches on that street do you mean?
