Community Supported Agriculture options in STL? (St. Louis, Maplewood: organic, shop, moving to)

[Todd.LA]

My partner and I will be moving to St. Louis this summer, and we'd love to join a local community supported agriculture (CSA) program and pickup a mix of fresh produce each week, in a St. Louis location.

I found a CSA in St. Louis called Fair Shares through a bit of Google searching, but at $2400 / year, it's fee is far too high, and it includes a lot of stuff beyond fruits and vegetables (like meat, bread, eggs, and dairy, which we don't want). We're looking to get our produce through a CSA, not all of our food items, which is what Fair Shares seems to be airming for. Does anyone know of a CSA that just does produce that would be suitable for two people? Has anyone had any experience with a CSA in St. Louis? Thanks!

Fair Shares and Biver Farms in Edwardsville are the only ones I know of. Keep in mind these farms also sell to the local farmer's markets though, so that's an option if you're just wanting to shop for local, organically grown produce. Soulard, Tower Grove and Maplewood are where I shop. HTH.
