When I started the Westchester County drop off site for Roxbury Farms two seasons ago, only ONE member in 25 knew what a csa was and was relieved to know about us. She is the one who has now taken over the drop off site for the farm, instead of our garage.
For those who don't know where Westchester is, it is ONLY 40 minutes north of NYC. May as well be white bread country somewhere in the middle of the US. (Apologies to all those non white bread folks in the middle there!) But I do agree, that more and more people are learning what a csa is, although, as Allan says, it is somewhat divorced from the original economic impulse. Also, I think it is more direct learning than Morphogenetic fields, hundredth monkey learning. You eat good food, you want more.
