At Least It's Not Just Me

My rotten CSA started a group message board so that all the members can communicate about important issues like switching pick up weeks, how much we love the Earth, blah blah blah.

Except that lately it's been a pitchfork roundup, full of complaints. EVERYONE thinks we're paying a LOT f money for a piss poor showing of bugs and dirt. One woman called every CSA in NYC (yes, even Brooklyn and the Bronx) and published a blow-by-blow on what everyone else is getting (40 pounds of gorgeous, exotic, whatthefuckizthat organic vegetables) v. what we're getting (just the whatthefuckizthat, oh YEA, dirt, rudeness and bugs). While all the world is scrambling to figue out how to cook all the nature's bounty that comes in their boxes, we're trading info on how to exterminate our, ahem, bounty, and who is to blame. The word "refund" is being bandied about with increasing enthusiasm.

It's about damned time.
