Urban: Community Supported Agriculture in NYC

If you are obsessed with good food and wonder why a hamburger costs less than an apple, you might be interested in learning more about Community Supported Agriculture in NYC. Don't know what that is? Community supported agriculture is a new (or not depending on how you view the modern food industry and how people "used to" eat), and developing model of agriculture and food distribution which is meant to reconnect the individual/consumer with the farmer/producer. CSA's have sprung up nationwide, allowing individuals and families to receive weekly shipments of fresh produce directly from local farmers. I'm desperate to join one, but have no idea what to do with a whole boxload of fresh fruits and vegetables (and sometimes dairy products) - feed myself for a month and store it in a an icebox since I have a studio-friendly skinny fridge? Alas, I may have to wait a while before it makes sense to join one.
