Convenience is often sited as a drawback to the CSA model. The pickup is usually once a week, during a short window, and in one location. As the model grows, so too does the innovative thinking. In Illinois, a group of CSAs will have drop-offs at some larger buildings in the downtown area, which will allow shares to be sold to those who work in the building, rather than by neighborhood. Also tollway oases are being used as drop-offs. (Chicago Tribune via MNN)
