Hubby and I have talked about it, but every year we decide against it, because we can't give up our farmers market habit.

She's always giving us vegetables and herbs with medicinal uses. She told my husband he was diabetic (he is) and that I might be (at the time I was diagnosed prediabetic). She gave us bitter melon, and told us it would bring down our blood sugars. I thought it was just folklore, but I found that research seems to support her recommendations (too bad it isn't very tasty if you don't like harshly bitter foods.
We've heard there is a winter-only CSA, so we're looking into that (but there are also a few year-round farmers markets becoming popular as well).
