Yes, it has been quite interesting. Within two days of the pandemic hitting, my online CSA probably tripled in volume. I had to put a stop on accepting new people, because I did not feel I had the production to maintain it. There is an extensive waiting list of people who want to buy food from me that I cannot supply at this point. I will be able to supply it as we get into the main season.
I've had unbelievable comments. One gentleman who was about my age, in his 50s, emailed me that he had never bought local food in his life. He couldn't have cared less about it, and the COVID pandemic made him rethink his life, as he said to me.
I just think it's very interesting. Even if a small percentage of this new interest lasts for us beyond COVID, at least in this area we could see a lasting benefit of new interest in supporting local food of many types.
