        <content>When I lived in San Francisco, I always subscribed to the Terra Firma Farm (http://www.terrafirmafarm.com/) delivery service.  Here in LA, I love my local farmer's markets, but I can rarely get to them due to my work schedule, and end up buying my produce at the supermarket too often for my taste.

Does anyone know of a Community Supported Agriculture service similar to the Terra Firma/Eatwell Farms model in Los Angeles?</content>

      <content>Not exactly a CSA, but I've ordered both from organicexpress.com and paradiseo.com and have been very pleased.  Matter of fact, not more than five minutes before I read your post I set up weekly delivery service through Paradise O.  I liked Organic Express and their groceries too but Paradise O seems to have more variety and slightly better quality.  (I prefer weekly delivery and organic express has had the same delivery items for over a month) Both say they buy mostly produce grown in CA, except in winter when there isn't much too choose from.  I'll probably buy from organic express again to change it up every once in awhile- actually my plan was to do every other week from both companies but one delivers to me at the beginning of the week and one at the end of the week which doesn't work as far as spreading the produce out.  The bananas and chard from organic express were defiitely the best I'd ever tasted and paradise O had a humongous beautiful head of broccoli and beautiful butter lettuce.  I'm so glad I've started organic produce delivery, that supermarket crap is seriously a waste of my money after I've tasted the difference in organic.  Definitely better tasting and fresher.</content>

      <content>Beware: Tierra Miguel will provide you with a list of addresses where they deliver, you choose the one closest to you to go and pick up, but you must still drive to these places to pick up. No home delivery.</content>
