Hi. I'm a core group member of Roxbury Biodynamic Farm, a well-established

CSA in NY, and the only full-fledged CSA delivering to NYC thus far. We've

recently begun the process of exploring a coalition with other CSA's in our

region. Verna Kragnes, a midwesterner, had received a SARE grant, started
a highly successful coaltion in her area and approached us about developing

one in ours. She may well be working on a coaltion in your area, too, or
may know about one/s there. Although I have no e-mail for her, her snail
mail address is Box 668, Osceala WI, 54020. She's a great resource and
quite friendly to boot.

I would also suggest contacting the Biodynamic Farming and Gardening
Association. They are one of the main organizations working on CSA in our
area, and although located in Pennsylvania, would probably have info on
networks out west. They recently launched a home page, but I've no idea
the URL. They do, however, have an 800#: 1.800.516.7797.

Good luck.
