I really like Flocktown. Every week you can customize what is in your farm box. There is a nice selection of add-ons, like local meats and cheeses.

I did Flocktown two years ago. I really appreciated being able to customize and also being able to skip weeks and roll over the credits. In Brooklyn I had always done CSAs that were only every other week and I wasn't able to find any of those in JC, but I'm away enough that I needed something with an option to skip weeks, and this was even better. Only had an issue once or twice and they always fixed it very quickly. Even let you spend all the leftover credits at the end of the season on the fancy stuff or roll over to the next year

(only reason I stopped using them is theft in my complex in general has made me slow down the amount of stuff I'm getting delivered)

Thanks! Oo being able to skip weeks sounds perfect. Do they do referral codes by any chance?

Just an fyi on flocktown, they definitely oversold memberships with regard to their crop yield. The idea of picking what’s in your box is nice, but you effectively have to set an alarm for 10am on Saturday to have a 2-3 minute window to race through their web store before any swap items will become sold out.

This wasn’t an issue two years ago and the choices were much more varied. It was primarily a bunch of different types of greens for much of this year.

If they get their act together this year then they’re worth it, especially for the $1-2 per order doorstop delivery. Other csas either charge more for that or require you to pick up at a central location like the farmers market at the path.
