Hi Local Eaters! I'm looking to join a CSA next year, and have found one in our community that has drop off points north, central, and southwest of Fort Wayne. It is Country Garden and Farm Market, located in Roanoke, with drop off at the 3 Rivers CoOp and Salomon Farm on Dupont Road. Has anyone else signed up with this CSA? More info. at http://www.localharvest.org/csadrops.jsp?id=5164
There is another, the JL Hawkins Family Farm, I'd love to join but is such a drive from my home that I'd be using a lot of fossil fuels for pickup. If you live near North Manchester, check out http://www.localharvest.org/csadrops.jsp?id=5387 If you will be joining and would share pickup duties with me, I'd be interested!

We tried produce from this CSA in the late summer. It was good stuff.
We are seriously considering signing up in the Spring.
What sorts of things come in a CSA? How much education will I need to do in my own cooking to know how to use what I get?
Check out the local harvest page on this CSA, they list what you get for each season. According to friends who use them, they sometimes get stuff that they are unsure of, but it is usually good. Check out the "Going Local: Indiana Field Guide" link, they have recipes.
Carly - A note about the Hawkins Family Farm - they have been at Barr Street market in years past, maybe you could arrange to pick up your CSA there?
