It will be fun to hear what you get. I tried that here, but the only

place that delivered here, delivers from over 100 miles north of

here and the veggies were wilted each time, so I quit. We do have a

huge market place called Denio's Farmer's Market, which has been in

town over 50 years, but much of their produce is trucked in from

long distance, some all the way from Mexico, so I am looking for the

dates and times of the true local Farmer's market which the city saw

fit to move somewhere.

I just signed up for a weekly delivery

from a CSA in the south Chicago area called Triple A Farms (http://www.tripleavegetables.com/). 

There will be 16 weekly deliveries to my house.  I had them

once before for 1 box, but it was in November.  They were

going to try to offer produce throughout the winter but didn't

think the quality was up to their standards, so they

discontinued that service.  Now, they only offer veggies

during their growing season, from June 30 through October 16,

2011.  Before, I signed up for a monthly box, but now, I'm

getting a weekly delivery.  I'm gearing up to can some and

dehydrate some veggies that I receive from them and that I'm

growing in containers on my deck (peppers and tomatoes).
