Yes, you should join one if you have the opportunity. I did so last year for the first time, and it was a great experience. In fact, I just renewed my membership for the upcoming summer vegetable season here and can't wait for CSA deliveries to start again. Apparently the farm here is now working on possible spring and fall CSA seasons, which I would also join in a hearbeat.

Last year my friend joined one and she got so much that she was giving lots away weekly and freezing some. Join-you will be glad you did. The taste and quality of the produce is great.

We're both quite fond of beets and kale, as well as most of the other fall greens and root vegetables, but I have to admit, turnips aren't one of my favorites.

roast small ones in the pan below roast pork. just shake from time to time to keep covered with juices and to prevent scorching. slice bigger ones really thin. slice potatoes really thin. put them in a well-buttered gratin pan and roast at 400 degrees until just tender (turn every once in a while to keep from scorching). pour over just enough cream to barely cover, sprinkle with gruyere. bake until bubbling and brown.

I joined a CSA last year for about 2 months, but as others have already said, I did not enjoy not having the control to select what produce I was receiving. I'd much prefer visiting a farmer's market to select exactly what I need based on the recipes or meals I have in mind.
