How a CSA share works.

A CSA share is paid up front for a season of regular boxes, usually weekly. You share the farm's good years and its bad ones. Before you buy, ask what a typical week holds, where and when pickup is, whether delivery is offered, and how the farm handles a lost crop. Farms that grow organically or naturally say so on the listing.

Worth asking before you go:

• What is in a typical box in June, and in September?
• Where is pickup, and what if I miss a week?
• Is there a half share, a work share, or a payment plan?
