We’re thinking about subscribing to a CSA (community-sustained agriculture, where you get a weekly delivery of produce from local farms), but I’m interested if any of you have done it – what you think of it...

Thanks again to all who shared their neighborhood dining & housing savvy in the thread below. Now that we are completely sold on Andersonville, we come to the next chow-related question—food shopping—which many...

I hope to get to my home market at Copley tomorrow. I’ve been so busy covering other markets for assignments that I’m missing out on Copley! I visited the Newton Market at Cold Spring Park last week and was very...

end up in a cooked meal. If this amount sounds OK to you, see if either of those CSAs does a smaller share – I’d have to imagine they would in such a large city. I too am looking forward to getting creative with some...

Since the two have so much in common, we are adding CSAs to our weekly check in on what is going on with our local food providers. It looks like Quincy opened last Friday and Roslindale will open this Saturday. Quincy John Han...

Watermelons and cantaloupe are here. The big month of bounty is here. I filled my cart today at Copley. A tiny woman in front of me at the Atlas stand bought a 16 lb watermelon! This year, I decided that I would not miss out on...

Topic to continue what Bostonzest started for August: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/544684 Arlington today was very busy and very nice. Favorite stand overall was Hmong. Noticed 2-3 stands selling commercial tomatoes (with the...

Since the threads are still very long and active and this is really the time when the markets, CSAs and farm stands begin to perk, I’ll keep starting a new thread each week. If conversation dies off, I’ll put up...

I’d like to get your opinion on in-state producers of meat that provide delivery to the Boston area, including meat CSAs. I’m aware of Stillman’s meat CSA and I’d heard of a couple in Concord, MA (I think)...

Since most of the markets are now open and the posts have slowed a bit, how about a switch from weekly to a bit longer? As always all local food posts are welcome here. I just can’t get it all into the title. I did get to...

Things change so quickly this time of year. Here’s a new topic for Farmers' Markets, CSAs, Farm Stands, and other forms of fresh and local food for this week. My tidbit- The Roslindale Market will open this Saturday. Next??

This is the place for reports on where you are buying local food. Today I’m going to the Harvard Market. (12:30–6:00pm- Oxford and Kirkland Streets in Cambridge) The University is sponsoring Markets in Cambridge and Allston...

Davis Square was pretty good today but oddly quiet—as were the Central Square and Cambridgeport markets last week. Maybe the economy, proliferation of markets and CSAs are having effects on market biz? Kimball Farms has...

2 lbs of coffee. The vegetables are grown in Viroqua, Wisconsin and the fruit comes from all over the place. I really can’t think of what else you need to know — CSAs, from what I understand, are the kind of thing you...
