Me too! There is NO way I could afford to eat as well as we do now if it wasn't for Azure. Hove you heard of Full Circle Farm? As soon as DH has a regular paycheck coming in I'm going to start getting boxes from them. For $100 a month I'll get two big boxes full of fresh organic fruit and veggies. Nearly half the cost of what I'm paying now at Fred Meyers. And it's flown up so even if I was paying more, I'm getting stuff that was picked a couple days before, not weeks and weeks!

Tried them and we were NOT impressed. Trial them first ;)

That is what I plan on doing. What didn't you like? I have a bunch of friends who order from them and they only one said they consistently got rotten or near rotten fruit. 6 others can't say enough good about them.

The amount of veges is quite low for the price. Rotten happened as well.
Freddies may seem expensive, until you see the CSA stuff.
We have used www.wolflakewellness.com for Azure, Frontier and USDA organics veges.
They have gotten quite big, so extra fees have priced us out.
Planning on setting up our own drop point.

Thanks for the tips :) Hopefully it will work out, but there is a local CSA here who told me that her only complaint has been too much food. She is $600 for the season which I think is from early June to early August if I recall.

Plus we are working on our gardening skills and one of these days maybe I won't need a CSA during the summer. :)
