How to join a CSA
"Short of actual productive gardening (and not mutually exclusive to it) this gets you closer to your food."
How I did it: We researched the many CSA's available in our area based on price and availability. Some were already fully subscribed. We wound up with one that's a couple of hours from us, which is not ideal, but we like the farm and like the fact that they have a stall at our local farmer's market where we can supplement at a (slight but reasonable) discount.
Lessons & tips: Plan your meals around what you have. Think of a use for everything you can during the week to prevent spoilage (or an unanticipated burden on your composter).
Resources: Ask friends. Go to your coop and ask. Farmer's markets may publish listings, local newspaper may as well, or quarterly free journals such as Edible <YourCityHere>.
