Glad to see a CSA Zoo. I was a member of a CSA in Charlottesville VA before moving to Gainesville (1998-2000) and am now a member of Plowshares in Gainesville. I LOVE it. I think what I like best is the relief from decision making and the challenge of cooking what's in the bag. It is the best way to go.
Jim - you might look at http://www.localharvest.org/ or visit your local farmer's market. Some of the organic farmers who operate CSA's may have their pick up at the market and/or also sell the excess.
I just finished reading "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver. It was terrific! She has become my favorite author. This one is about a year on her farm in Virginia, when her family took a vow to live on only what they could grow themselves, or buy from neighbors. The book is quite informative, but it's also laugh-out-loud funny! I sat on my back porch reading it, and giggling like a fool!
