This is the first time we are participating in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). It is a program where participants pay for a share of weekly-delivered produce in order to support local farmers.

My knowledge about vegetables is EXTREMELY limited. Honestly, it is NOT my favourite food category. I could never imagine myself being interested in vegetables, in whatever aspect or extent, NEVER-EVER! However, I am attracted to the idea of CSA. Knowing who is growing my vegetables gives me a very personal, warm and cozy feeling. This is our main reason for joining a CSA. It will also provide opportunities to try many many new vegetables as well as eating more vegetables.
Who knows?! Maybe... One day, I might actually say, 'I like vegetables!' :-p

I love the idea of a CSA, because my grandparents have a farm. It is tough to only earn money for a short period of time, and still have enough left over to buy seeds and fertilizer for the next year. CSA's allow the growers to earn income early in the year, when they are planting, rather than just after the harvest. And you get the fun of all the new vegetables to try!
