We have been a member of our local CSA off and on for several years. It IS a great place for families and kids.

I would recommend picking up a vegetable reference book like Vegetables from Amaranth to Zucchini: The Essential Reference (http://astore.amazon.com/jupljo-20/detail/0688152600). I had NO IDEA what I was getting in my CSA box when I first started!
