4. I was a member of one a couple of years ago but didn't renew.

The problems for me were:

1. I just couldn't eat all those vegetables.
2. I froze or pickled some but I don't have enough freezer space.
3. There were too many root vegetables and members of the cabbage family, which I hate - cabbages the size of your head; large amounts of cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, which I won't eat on a bet; turnips and rutabagas and a few things I didn't even recognize, all of which were not my cup of tea.
4. And a whole lot of onions, which I also hate.
5. Not enough of the tasty vegetables like tomatoes, green beans and corn.

If you have a large family that likes a wide variety of vegetables they are probably a good deal. I can get the ones I like in quantities I can manage at a local farmer's market, so I started going there for vegetables and didn't renew the CSA membership.
