hmmmph!
This is the first I've ever heard of such a practice. All the CSAs I
know of grow their own. There is one I know of in Philly that involves
several farms, but that's clear from the beginning and all the produce is
local from those farms.
I have to wonder if this 'importation' problem is common enough to be an
issue or a rare occurrence....

Subject: Re: [Community_garden] thoughts on where our food comes from
I can tell you that I personally am really looking into the next CSA I
join.
I had great luck on the east coast and then joined one on the west,
considered one of the 'most successful', and in the first package I got a
cucumber
from Mexico!
I was well aware that they were using out of region non-seasonal things
but
THAT was way off base for me.
I can get that at my local grocery store and came to see this outfit as
nothing really more than a home delivery system people THOUGHT was a good
idea.
I am pushing for my state to get some regulations, if nothing else if not
for FULL disclosure, so that people know more of where things come from.
Not an experience I was looking for when joining a CSA.
