As some of you know, I'm a member of the Roxbury Farm core group in New
York City; Frank Scheib (see below) is a core group member in the Albany
area. He's not yet online, and asked me to post the question that follows
to this group. Margaret beat me to it, but I'd be interested in any
responses. So if you have experience with CSA deliveries to a coop site,
please cc me in your response.
Thanks much.
