CSAs are growing at such a strong rate and vary enough that different types of consumers will be able to find a good match for them. For example, the Southport Organic CSA has a volunteer requirement of closing and opening once per season whereas one that's delivered to your home or that you pick up at a farmers' market would not. I also recommend consumers get creative and start swapping with friends and neighbors if they get overloaded with a certain type of produce. The other option is to wash, blanch and freeze your surplus. I did that last year before we left on summer vacation and it was so convenient to find kale and collards prepped for cooking in my freezer upon returning home! Thanks Laura.
