You can look for a CSA that allows you to choose what items you receive each week. Many will, but then again, many won't. 2. You can try to find a recipe that will allow you to like that veggie. That sounds like a bit of a pat answer, but I have been very surprised at the number of vegetables that I actually do like, when prepared correctly. I'll be posting more of my "learning to like vegetables" series as the summer continues. 3. You can donate the extra veggies to a food bank. Though I'd only recommend this if there are very few vegetables that you don't like. Otherwise it won't be worth it for you to join the CSA. If all you don't like is radishes, then this would be fine. But if there are five or six vegetables that you don't like, that might be a waste of money. 4. Go in on the CSA with a friend or coworker. You might find someone you work with who likes some of the vegetables you don't. Well, you have a couple of options.

I am also a loyal shopper of Farmers Markets. my big fear is what to do with those veggies I don't like such as radishes? I hate to waste them or even compost them. I am interested in hearing how your CSA share experience goes! I have thought about joining a CSA.
