Do you grow enough diversity for a full-diet CSA? Or just stick to what you grow well? These are two extremes of the spectrum, but...  what if you could do both?

Mikey and Erin of Boxcar Acres provide a multi-farm, full-diet, full-choice CSA in Henry County, KY. They aggregate and distribute veg from their own farm and several others, along with protein, dairy, honey, and value-added goods, all full-choice at a flat rate.

We get into how their entire farming career has been characterized by collaboration, how the full-diet CSA works, the challenges of the model, and we get a bit candid about what it may mean to put the 'member' back in CSA member.
