If they do, then don't feel bad about leaving some things behind when you pick up your share if you really think you won't be able to eat it. And don't be afraid to use the trade box at your CSA distribution because, c'mon, most of the food in our fridge that tends to not be eaten in time is the stuff we don't love, right? I mean, I always manage to eat all the tomatoes we get, but somehow the radishes (especially the daikons) just don't seem to make it to my plate as quickly, if at all... And I feel the need to add, what's up with the Garden-of-Eve-hating from Cantaloupe Alone? I've been with two CSAs (with two different farms) and I've been as happy with GoE as the other farm.
