Doing CSA's as a market

Posted by kydaylilylady z6 KY (My Page) on

Are there any of you out there that belong to a market that is doing a CSA as a whole market venture?

Our local market is proposing doing one as a group. We're located in the state capital and our hort agent, along with a member of the staff of the KY Dept. of Agr. talked to us last night about trying to get one going in one of the big state office buildings. They're willing to do all the paperwork and delivery of the boxes, all we have to do is grow what we need and deliver it to the market on specified week days. It sounds like a paperwork nightmare for them but hey, they offered to do it.

Anyone out there doing something like that? If so, how many vendors are involved? How many boxes do you do a week? How much do you charge? Is it working with that many people involved? Right now it looks like about 15 members are showing an interest.

I have some concerns as to whether we could do this and still support the market or if we'd bite off more than we could swallow.
